Handbrake (
http://handbrake.fr/) is a utility to process and encode
video
(and audio). It is supported for the new version of Gnome. It
actively develops for the GNU/Linux platform. A semi-nightly rpm release is
made (
https://build.handbrake.fr/). There is a spec file listed in its
source code (
http://trac.handbrake.fr/browser/trunk/gtk/ghb.spec). All of
the source can be found on its web-site (
http://trac.handbrake.fr/browser).
Detailed build instruction (though slightly outdated) can be found
documenting building, specifically on GNU/Linux, for Fedora and Ubuntu
(
http://trac.handbrake.fr/browser/trunk/doc/BUILD-Linux). It is licensed as
GNU GPL version 2 (
http://trac.handbrake.fr/browser/trunk/COPYING).
If I attempt to package this after its 9.5 release - which should be
relatively soon and imminent - will it meet the requirements of Rpmfusion. I
do know that since it depends on certain things that are unpackageable for
Fedora's repositories that it will not be acceptable there. I, with
rpmfusion repositories installed plus libdvdcss, am able to install the
semi-nightly builds and use them. Thus, I believe that all of the
license inappropriate dependencies for Fedora must have been met by
Rpmfusion. I believe that packaging this and putting into Rpmfusion would be
a great addition to Fedora. I believe that most Fedora desktop users use
Rpmfusion, so this as an addition to Rpmfusion will really expand the
presence of Handbrake for Fedora user's to acquaint themselves.
It was once proposed in RPMFusion. But we gave up. As far as I
remember upstream wasn't very cooperative. (Was it them who were
calling people names?)
