Arguably it's broken. The official documentation expects it to be a single installation, and I don't see any reason to split avidemux into five ports (there's also avidemux-qt4). What good is the avidemux port on its own? Or the combination of avidemux-qt5 without avidemux-plugins? Just finding out that you need all this stuff is a pain. I'd recommend folding both of these ports, and probably avidemux-cli, into the ports avidemux-qt4 and avidemux-qt5. At the very least there should be a warning in avidemux/pkg-descr, but I don't think that's the right approach. Thoughts? Greg -- Sent from my desktop computer.
