Kino
I'm trying to install Kino using sbopkg. One of the dependencies is libiec61883. Sbopkg cannot find this file. I tried installing manually from slackbuilds.org but the source tarball is not available and the link to the homepage is broken. Where can I download the source for this library file?
I think, like solarfields hinted, that he means he cannot download the source: it was on kernel.org download repository, but that is offline since some time now.
FYI, the web stuff of kernel.org is mirrored also on osuosl
I tried installing manually from slackbuilds.org but the source tarball is not available and the link to the homepage is broken.
Could be that the link on the slackbuilds website is temporarily broken, because I notice it points that kernel.org which has had a long outage recently and although the main site is back , it looks as if some areas are being slowly restored. The salix link posted in one of the replies seems to point at a source tarball OK.
However, continuing with the Kino install, ffmpeg now will not build. error message says man page can't be found.

I have had occassional problems trying to build ffmpeg as well and somebody posted advice here to get the Alien Bob Slackbuild for this package (http://connie.slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/). Worked for me, although I am not sure if he maintains 13.1, 13.37 etc versions. There are .tgz binary packages there as well as the Slcakbuilds.
