Package: meshlab Severity: important Tags: patch Dear Maintainer,
I saw that meshlab was removed due to build issues. I have done some work on it upstream recently, including incorporating patches/functionality from the debian package. It now builds easily with fewer patches - and my PR to add a CMake build system (instead of qmake) was just accepted and will probably be in a snapshot release https://github.com/cnr-isti-vclab/meshlab/releases tomorrow or early next week. I've tried to update the package - however, since the previous package, they've split meshlab and vcglib so we're in a "multiple upstream tarballs" scenario which I'm not very familiar with packaging. My work-in-progress (based on a snapshot release of a few days ago) is here: https://salsa.debian.org/rpavlik- guest/meshlab/tree/rp/update but I'd strongly recommend going with a version that includes my CMake build system since it makes the dependency handling smoother and more reliable. I also tried to fix the issue in the most recent package that kept it from being migrated - the desktop OpenGL usage isn't compatible with armel or armhf, so I disabled those architectures the best I know how. There is interest from users at upstream in using MeshLab in Debian, so hopefully this package can be revived. I'm happy to help - I'm now pretty familiar with the code structure and build system, and upstream has been accepting my patches pretty readily recently.
