I've been using Tracking since 2014 if I remember well and it has been of great value in my lessons. Recently, I came to visit the website and found the Linux links has been withdrawn. I also see a small notice for 'Developers' where is included a session named: Beta Tracker installers: linux64. I would like to know what is the current state of the arts regarding Tracker for Linux. I know (or at least hope) the .jar is to be used as main installation for Linux machine, but I guess the support for the project in a specific plataform goes beyong simply having an installer for it. Also, I have a limited user experience with Linux, but if I can improve or help the project to be supported in anyway I ask you to give me more info.
Thanks for your attention and for the Tracker program.
Hi Mauricio, we're still working out some issues with the Linux installer but Linux64 will continue to be supported. Linux32 will NOT be supported because the new Xuggle video engine require a 64 bit Java VM. Look for the Linux release later this summer when version 6.0.1 is released. I'm sorry I don't have a firm date, but for now I recommend continuing to use version 5.1.5 and have changed the links on the Tracker home page to reflect that recommendation. Doug
