How to install Vapoursynth plugins on Fedora

[MysteryX]

I'm currently looking at the difference between Arch and Fedora when it comes to VapourSynth.

In Arch, you have all the plugins in the AUR; many are outdated and it changes all the time. You need to compile everything yourself, which gives a huge mess of AUR packages, and sometimes a 3GB dependency just for a small plugin.

In Ubuntu, I believe there are some repos with the plugins that (may) make this easier.

For Fedora, how do I install plugins?

I think the most complete approach is to compile things yourself.

That doesn’t have to be a bad experience though. I’ve seen some users who scripted the plugin installation process pretty solidly.

Here’s an example: https://github.com/DeadNews/shell-scripts/blob/main/src/vs-plugins.zsh

I’ve been thinking about trying out Fedora at some point as well, mostly to provide a more stable environment than Arch.

But I think right now there isn’t a real competitor to the AUR anywhere else. Maybe some Nix repos, but I haven’t played with that.
