Just an update - I'm waiting on Natron to package proper release tarballs (which will happen in v2+ according to them) -- See https://github.com/MrKepzie/Natron/issues/867

any news on this?
natron-2.0.5 has been released two weeks ago, and there have been
properly tagged releases since 2016/03.

also i would like to offer to package this under the pkg-multimedia-team
umbrella.

Hi IOhannes,

I am no longer interested in packaging Natron, please feel free to
package it.

Thanks,
Thomas.

it would be really helpful, if could have access to natron in a more
debian like style at last.

although it's a GPL licensed project, binaries from
https://natron.fr/download/ are only available after registration and
the .deb creation mechanism used for their packages doesn't look very
transparent and easy to reproduce by ordinary users.

see:
https://forum.natron.fr/t/how-to-build-deb-packages-of-natron/1345/1
https://github.com/MrKepzie/Natron/issues/385
https://forum.natron.fr/t/no-binary-download-without-account/808

i think, IOhannes has much more experiences maintaining packages, but
otherwise i'm always willing to help.

Hi,

I had a look : it is now up to 2.3.2, and in the github repository, I
see that in the libs/ directory there are quite a few things that really
should be *external* deps. Some we have in Debian already ; but there is
also:
- glog, the google logging module ;
- hoedown, "a revived sundown", a Markdown parser ;
- libmv, which is "Extracted from Blender git repository under the
intern/ folder"
- libtess, a general polygon tesselation library ;
- openFX_extensions, which is just two files and from the authors of
Natron ;
- openMVG, which are patched source files of another project ;
- qhttpserver/http-parser, an asynchronous HTTP parser ;
- qhttpserver, whose readme says it's not actively maintained and points
a nicer project to use.

So I think packaging this is quite hard.
