Brew Formulae for Audiovisual Preservation

Maintained Formulae

• bash-avpres – Bash scripts for audiovisual preservation
• ffmpeg – Alternate FFmpeg formula with options:
  brew options avpres/formulae/ffmpeg

Removed Formulae

We have removed the following two formulae, as our customers and research partners were decreasingly using Homebrew for installation:

• the MovIm package contains the libmovim C library, implementing the MovIm video codec, and its associated movimenc, movimdec and movimplay utilities, as well as the openmovim Bash command-line interface to encode, decode, play and analyse virtually any moving images
• the Spoiled_Apples package emulates 6502, 680x0 and PowerPC−based Apple computers and clones

We have removes the formula for FFCommand_Engine, because this software is no longer maintained upstream.

• ffcommand-engine – Instals the FFCommand_Engine app by Colorlab
  Attention: Use the --HEAD flag to install the not officially released version 0.6 rather than the current version 0.51 for macOS (and 0.5 for Windows).

We have removed the two formulae for openLTFS and openLTO, because we abandoned the development of those pieces of software:

• the openLTFS package includes the libltfs C library and its associated ltfs, ltfs_check, ltfs_copy and mkltfs utilities, as well as the openltfs Bash command-line interface
• the openLTO package is a collection of Bash scripts to manage LTO cartridges with LTFS

We have removed both CineForm formulae, as the resources upstream no longer appear to be maintained.

• cineform – Alternate static and shared CineForm libraries: libcineform.a, as well as libcineform.so under Linux or libcineform.dylib under macOS
• cineform-gopro – GoPro’s static CineForm library: libCFHDCodec.a
