please excuse me if somebody asked this before or if this is the wrong place to ask this question. I have been searching this forum and havent found this problem. This area seemed the only place suitible to post this.
Trying to install Cinelerra on Ubuntu 18.04 like described on Ubuntu - Cinelerra GG, apt-add-repository is reporting an 404-error:
Thank you for reporting the error. No problem, you can also post such requests in the forum. The developers will take a look at the problem. Unfortunately I dont use Ubuntu and therefore I cant reproduce the bug. You will get feedback from us.
If you are in a hurry, you can also use the single user builds. You can find them here:
We tested it here using the provided instructions and they are correct, but most likely some users are just used to using the standard package method and not the unsigned package method.
The Not Found file is the Release file which is for signed packages.
Help appreciated from anyone out there who can provide a better way to create package builds for ubuntu that alleviate this problem without us having to create signed packages if possible. The developer who set this up is a programmer and not familiar with the ins and outs of packages and ubuntu. He uses dpkg-scanpackages to build the package (from dpkg-dev install) and that does not generate a Release file, thus producing the 404 Not Found error.
