history

Project history and usage

ETL is packaged as Synfig's Extensible Template Library, a C++ support library associated with the Synfig animation stack.

Project history

The Homebrew package facts identify `etl` as the Extensible Template Library and point to Synfig's official source repository. The current Synfig repository describes itself as the official source code repository for Synfig Studio animation software, with Synfig available on Windows, Linux, and macOS.

Adoption history

The input package facts list ETL packages across Homebrew, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora/DNF, and Arch/Pacman, indicating that downstream Unix-like distributions have treated it as a separately consumable development package.

How it is used

Package users typically install ETL for its development headers and `ETL-config` helper rather than as an end-user application. It is closely tied to building or packaging Synfig-related code.

Why package nerds care

ETL matters to package maintainers because it is a small but historically separate C++ development component in the Synfig stack, exposed by multiple distributions as `etl`, `etl-dev`, or `ETL-devel`.

Timeline

  • 2011: Current official Synfig GitHub repository created.
  • 2020s: Synfig changelog continues to tag ETL-affecting changes alongside core and studio changes.
