I'v been searching for shutter on the repos and I can't find it...I think it's not added to the main repo
Name Shutter Homepage http://shutter-project.org/ Is it Open Source yes/no YES Link to source tarball/zip file http://shutter-project.org/wp-content/uploads/releases/tars/shutter-0.93.1.tar.gz
Thank you for your hard work
Is there any reason why this outdated, non-maintained software should be added to the repo, when we already have Gnome Screenshot as well as @cybre's budgie-screenshot-applet?
well...I think it has a great features...such as using the sftp / ftp for uploading photos as well as editing them...and more...the last version is from 24-Dec-2014! which it's really old...but I'v been using it greatly with Debian (an old version too not the latest one)
yes..I use it everyday...I have a FTP server on a VPS I host screenshots on it to share it with people...and that's program really helps me...any way I can use filezilla to manually upload my capture..through the gnome-screenshot...
Well if someone wants to tackle Shutter, they're welcome to. Obviously I'd much prefer that budgie-screenshot-applet just continue to get some love, since I think that would be the most sensible, maintained, and integrated option going forward, but given that Shutter offers functionality unique to it and not available in other options like Gnome Screenshot, I don't see why it can't be added.
well...if the budgie-screenshot-applet supports FTP/SFTP upload...then shutter will be just an option xD
Actually I tested out the applet...it's great..and very powerful...if it has the sftp/ftp feature it will be the ultimate screenshotter... @cybre you ROCK man! I forgot to mention that the shutter providing auto-clipboard plus a custom http URL for the website that it will preview the image you uploaded throught the built-in FTP client ;)
After evaluation of the "source tarballs" via their source code page, I have noticed that their "source" is solely a binary and share content. Thus, it won't be included.
Hi guys...so does that mean the source code is not function at all? or at least to be packaged ?
I downloaded the source and it seems like you said...it's a binary...so does that mean I can run it in solus without a package ?
UPDATE: it seems the maintainer of shutter said : Latest source packages are available here. If you build a package for your distribution, please let us know – we’ll link to it.
it's like the source code is not meant for packaging in the first place you have to contact the developer or does that mean they will link the new package for that new distro?
Thanks
Shutter has been updated to version 0.94. name
Please consider adding it to the repos now.
@cloxy I looked into it. Seems like it would be a pain to package. There is no build system from what I can tell. I'm not even sure if the tarball that they call their source code contains the actual code.
@tristan957 Yes, I know. Steve also tried, but it was a real pain in the neck. See here for more details Add a better screenshot tool by default
Thanks.
