[PKGBUILD] dvbcut

I´ve made a pkgbuild for dvbcut. It´s in an early development state. But maybe it can replace ProjectX.

Website: http://dvbcut.sourceforge.net/index.html

dvbcut is a Qt application which enables you to select certain parts of an MPEG transport stream (as received on Digital Video Broadcasting, DVB) and save these parts into a single MPEG output file. It follows a "keyhole surgery" approach. Thus, the input video and audio data is mostly kept unchanged, only very few frames at the beginning and/or end of the selected range are re-encoded in order to obtain a valid MPEG file.

  cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
  qmake
  make || return 1
  install -d $startdir/pkg/usr/bin
  install -m755 $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver/bin/dvbcut $startdir/pkg/usr/bin/
}

It works here fine. But a bugfix release is already announced to come out this night.

If you don´t see something wrong in the pkgbuild I will upload it soon after the bugfix comes out.

I had to download it manually to build it.

There´s a feature to use mplayer for browsing the video while cutting. I think this is a quiet important feature though it would work without.

So shell I add mplayer as a dependency?

Re: [PKGBUILD] dvbcut

When it is compiled with that feature, can it still work without mplayer being installed?
If yes, do not add mplayer as a dependency.  Instead, use a .install file to notify users to install mplayer if they want to use this feature.

Your suggestion is a good solution. Going to upload it.
