[SOLVED] What happened to the MakeMKV Slackbuild? Not found...

Z_Tagr · 09-23-2011, 08:17 PM

Hi again, fellow Slackers!

I have a pretty basic question this time - what happened to the MakeMKV package on Slackbuilds.org?

It isn't present at the MakeMKV home site, and I believe that the Slackbuild site was linking to those files, but does anyone have access to the files now? Did anyone get them BEFORE they were taken offline?

And, moreover, WHY were they taken offline?

I just bought a new notebook with a Blue-ray/DVD drive, and kind of wanted to play Blue-ray with it...; I only have Slackware64 running on it, so I thought that MakeMKV would be an option. I was pleasantly surprised to see the package was available from Slackbuilds, and then, BOOM! Disappointment!

Any info.?

Thanks in advance,
Andre. (Z_Tagr)

The problem with the MakeMKV devs is that they remove the old sources immediately. 1.6.15 was released and although they have uploaded the release for Linux they neglected to update the forum post with new links. I'm the maintainer of that SlackBuild and have submitted an update, but for now I can give you the diffs:

There was a small change to the SlackBuild because of added localizations, but for the past several versions the only difference has been a version bump (and this is the first time that they forgot to update the Linux forum posting, as far as I can tell).

Hope that helps. If you have any problems let me know.
