The date on the most recent package is 20070122 &#8211; apparently the developer of cinelerra doesn&#8217;t work too closely with the community, and the community developers have to occasionally <a href=\"http:\/\/cvs.cinelerra.org\/docs\/split_manual_en\/cinelerra_cv_manual_en_1.html#SEC3\">take a snapshot<\/a> and clean the hell up out of it &#8211; so you don&#8217;t want it to happen too often.  The gentoo package compiles fine on AMD64, but only if you specifically disable mmx support (weird, eh?).
