http://www.rivendellaudio.org/ I hope the link above may be what you're after. The software is available as either source code or pre-compiled, from what I can see. – nixnerd Oct 15 '19 at 13:49

Unfortunately there doesn't appear to be a package available in the repositories, however, there's a github project here that as of this moment was last updated 10/9/2019 and the INSTALL file mentions all the necessary prerequisites to build it.
In case you are unfamiliar a prerequisite is something required that must exist on your system prior to installing. You can find answers on how to clone the project on your system here.
Be aware that while http://www.rivendellaudio.org/ lists SuSE Linux Professional 9.x as a recommended system requirement, since Ubuntu is also a distribution of GNU/Linux you should be able to do this successfully.
You can confirm that you have git installed with the command and response shown below.
$ which git
/usr/bin/git
If which doesn't show it's already installed you can obtain it with sudo apt install git

There's also a slightly older source rivendell-3.1.0.tar.gz last updated September 19th 2019 (as of this writing) at http://www.rivendellaudio.org/ftpdocs/rivendell/
