Installation procedure

root@linuxhelp:~# sudo add-apt-repository ppa:haraldhv/shotcut
Unofficial package for shotcut
This package will simply install the official release from shotcut.org into /usr/lib/shotcut (including all dependencies), and have it listed together with the other applications.
I am fully aware that this is not the preferred way of packaging, but due to time constraints the shotcut developer does not wish to support the number of configurations required from a proper debian/ubuntu package. Importing the official tarball like this is a compromise that gives the convenience of apt for installing/upgrading while staying in line with the official releases, at the expense of a large package size.
Any concerns related to this PPA should be directed towards me and not the shotcut author.
