Kdenlive upgrade?

[wrender]

I am running kubuntu 8.10 with Kdenlive 0.6.0

I was wondering if there is a way to upgrade Kdenlive to the latest 0.7.5 release without upgrading kubuntu to 9.04 ?

Re: Kdenlive upgrade?

You could make a request of the backporting of the Kdenlive. If the Backports team backports the Kdenlive it will be added to the "Unsupported updates / Ubuntu backports". You could then enable the "Unsupported updates / Ubuntu backports" repository

and upgrade the Kdenlive.


The official backporting is not sure so you could use the "Personal Package Archives for Ubuntu (PPA)". There are several PPA repositories that have various versions of the Kdenlive. The main page of a PPA repository has links to "How do I use software from a PPA?"

a) You could download .deb packages from a PPA repository and install them through the GDebi.

gdebi-kde, Simple tool to install deb files

gdebi lets you install local deb packages resolving and installing
its dependencies.

You download a .deb package, right click it at your file manager (Dolphin, Konqueror), Open with > Gdebi Package installer.


b) You could add a PPA repository to your list of repositories. The official instructions can be found > How do I use software from a PPA?


Example - How i use the PPA repositories.

0) Opening the PPA page and reading the information.

1) Adding the PPA repository /1/, /2/

Alt + F2 and "kdesudo kate /etc/apt/sources.list.d/my_ppa_repos.list"
Copy&Paste:

deb [url]http://ppa.launchpad.net/sunab/ppa/ubuntu[/url] intrepid main

Save&Exit Kate.

2) Adding the OpenPGP key

Konsole:

sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com AA836CA8

It should tell:

Executing: gpg --ignore-time-conflict --no-options --no-default-keyring --secret-keyring /etc/apt/secring.gpg --trustdb-name /etc/apt/trustdb.gpg --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com AA836CA8
gpg: requesting key AA836CA8 from hkp server keyserver.ubuntu.com
gpg: key AA836CA8: public key "Launchpad PPA for C.A.B/sunab" imported
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg: imported: 1 (RSA: 1)

3) Updating /3/ the package database:

sudo apt-get update

4)Testing /4/: "what will hapen if...!

sudo apt-get install -s kdenlive

5) Upgrading the Kdenlive with the install /5/.

sudo apt-get install kdenlive

6) Disabling the PPA repository.

Using the "Software Sources" or the command:
Alt + F2 and "kdesudo kate /etc/apt/sources.list.d/my_ppa_repos.list"
Adding a # mark at the start of the source line (it is a comment line) /6/.

#deb [url]http://ppa.launchpad.net/sunab/ppa/ubuntu[/url] intrepid main

7) Updating the package database.

8 ) Testing the Kdenlive.



/1/ At this example PPA for sunab - kdenlive stable

/2/ man sources.list

SOURCES.LIST.D

The /etc/apt/sources.list.d directory provides a way to add sources.list entries in separate files. The format is the same as for the regular sources.list file. File names need to end with .list and may only contain letters (a-z and A-Z), digits (0-9), underscore (_), hyphen (-) and period (.) characters. Otherwise they will be silently ignored.

/3/ man apt-get

update

update is used to resynchronize the package index files from their sources. The indexes of available packages are fetched from the location(s) specified in /etc/apt/sources.list..

/4/ man apt-get

-s, --simulate, --just-print, --dry-run, --recon, --no-act

No action; perform a simulation of events that would occur but do not actually change the system.

/5/ man apt-get

install

install is followed by one or more packages desired for installation or upgrading.

/6/ man sources.list

The source list is designed to support any number of active sources and a variety of source media. The file lists one source per line, with the most preferred source listed first. The format of each line is: type uri args The first item, type determines the format for args uri is a Universal Resource Identifier (URI), which is a superset of the more specific and well-known Universal Resource Locator, or URL. The rest of the line can be marked as a comment by using a #.
