FreeBSD 12.0 kdenlive removal?

Hi.

I'm trying to install kdenlive on an amd64 version of freebsd 12.0. I first installed the pkg tool, then ran pkg update.
After this I ran pkg install kdenlive but it says it's not in the repo. I searched on freshports and it seems it should be in the repos.
Do I have to install it from the ports collection instead and if so can pre built packages and ports exist on the same install.

Thanks for your time.

I haven't checked but it's possible it fails to build (for whatever reason). In that case a package would go missing.

Alright then I'll look into it further. I didn't try to build the port yet so maybe I can get it going that way.
Thank you for your help.
 
If you've got other packages installed (not ports), don't mix the two or you will more than likely have dependency issues. Just a heads up. In my experience, it's either all packages or all ports. There are ways around this but a more experienced member will have to chime in as to how.
 
A standard -RELEASE version uses quarterly packages, so make sure you have the same ports tree (which defaults to latest), or else you can get a lot of version differences. And as long as you build everything with the same default options you should end up with the same packages. But, that said, there's a reason why it fails to build. If it fails to build on the build clusters its likely going to fail to build on your systems too.

I got around to trying to build it and lone and behold it failed as you said it would.
Thanks for all your help though.
 
There is a package for multimedia/kdenlive in the latest repository for 12.0 from 2019-02-03. If you wish to use that repository you need to set it in the /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf file (how to in /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf). After setting the new repository run pkg update and pkg upgrade to upgrade the installed packages to latest repo package version before installing kdenlive.

Thanks T-Daemon. I'll have to revisit this issue. I got busy and forgot about this post lol.

It's a little tricky finding the right build logs. But this looks like the last quarterly builds: http://beefy2.nyi.freebsd.org/build.html?mastername=120amd64-quarterly&build=491901

It seems it's skipped due to failures with multimedia/mlt-qt5

I can't find the issue for the latest builds but it might be the same reason.

It may be a hidden ffmpeg bug, for at least eight months the FFmpeg -flite option causes MLT to build dysfunctional libraries, so suddenly kdenlive and other media packages fail to work without revealing the source of the problem. I suggest until ffmpeg is fixed everyone should be warned to disable flite in ffmpeg.
