Package Managers Officially Supported? (Ubuntu Snap, Flathub, etc.)
Posted: Tue Aug 11, 2020 3:56 pm
As the topic reads, I am curious to know there is "official" support for a package manager method to install MakeMKV on Ubuntu.
The Snap package manager would appear to be the Ubuntu version of an "app store." However, I've noticed that just about anyone can submit a build (official developer or otherwise). I have installed MakeMKV via Snap, but I am questioning whether it correctly installed (more on those issues in a separate thread). Further, I'd like to know if the developer provides this build or another party.
Ultimately, the instruction thread indicates we should compile from source. However, there's never telling how current those instructions may be and whether Snap superseded that process as a later development.
I am running the latest Ubuntu Desktop distribution (Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS). I am new to the OS, and I'm exploring it for use with an encoding rig (machine completely dedicated to ripping and encoding MKV files).
Thanks in advance!
