Hello everybody!

My question is fairly simple. To possibly be able to contribute I'd love to install newest version from git. But to continue working, I'd like to maintain the last stable release. Should this be possible ? At the moment, I am using Suse 12,1 ...

if you have a open partision you can install another ubuntu distro on your system and then install another version of kdenlive in that ubuntu distro. then it is just a matter of choosing the proper distro for each of the kdenlive versionsin in grub2. I have my system set up this way and have the stable version on one partision and the testing version on the other.
note: my best stable version will work with all rendering formats and due to the problems with the mlt I do not update this partision and only use it to render to mp4,h.256,flash and xvid formats. so this is a good way to solve your install question and if your current version is working with all rendering formats you can inshure your ability to keep working while the issues with the mlt are fixed as long as you dont upgrade your software on that partision.

hope this helps!

Very simple to do if you use the build scripts provided on the wiki, each time you use the script it builds everything required into a dated folder within your home partition, so you can have stable from repository and daily isolated builds, this is very useful when a cutting edge build fails like current rendering problem as you just go back a day or two through your folders to a working build.
