Re: Kdenlive needs MLT 7 package

Hi,

I also got the mail just today. Maybe a post from a non subscriber which went
through moderation?

The mlt update to version 7.0.1 is pending:
https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/895988

The blocker is ironically that kdenlive doesn't support it, so it can't be
checked in as-is. For that, there's a new libmlt6 package pending:
https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/898305

It would be possible as well to add the multimedia:libs repository and get
libmlt7 from there into the CI container image. Though I wonder whether that's
desirable, because it would break all builds which don't support it.

If you already have a branch or patch which supports libmlt7, then we could
also apply that to our kdenlive package and unblock the libmlt7 submission
without having to introduce a separate libmlt6.

Cheers,
Fabian
