Available VJ software

[kazakore]

Is there any VJ software compiled and available through a repository for Fedora FC16 i686?

LiVES and Veejay seem to be the two on Linux I have seen get the most mention. I have tried to find them in the official, RPMFusion and CCRMA repositories and not had any joy.

Are these availably anywhere? Is there any VJing software, which is reasonably lightwieght (running on quite ancient/slow hardware but thought worth a try) which can be installed via repository or .rpm? Or am I going to have to attempt compiling myself?

Seems I am far from the only person to have this problem on Fedora! http://blogs.fsfe.org/samtuke/?p=245

LiVES is available off of koji russia.

I haven't ran it on Fedora. But, it rebuilds and runs on an old CentOS 6 box very nicely.

Reads like just another whiner.

Actually came across the post from a simple VJing Linux search, not Fedora specific, but fair enough

Will give the Koji Russia links a chance when I have the time. Any tips for a relative n00b who hasn't used their repo before? It is actually worth adding or just manually installing the LiVES .rpm from there?

From http://koji.russianfedora.ru/koji/bu...o?buildID=1051 do I only need "lives-1.6.1-1.fc16.R.i686.rpm" or is it worth installing all listed under i686?

I'm assuming you need/want lives, lives-doc, and weed. Koji isn't a repo, it's a build system, so the easiest method is to download the rpm and install from a terminal. yum localinstall XYZ ABC DEF.., you get the idea. You might want to review "yum" if you don't. Yum should pull in your dependencies. Assuming you've added RPMFusion already ie.,

Words of wisdom, cautions and warnings wrt third-party repos always apply.
