Hi, I had a look : it is now up to 2.3.2, and in the github repository, I see that in the libs/ directory there are quite a few things that really should be *external* deps. Some we have in Debian already ; but there is also: - glog, the google logging module ; - hoedown, "a revived sundown", a Markdown parser ; - libmv, which is "Extracted from Blender git repository under the intern/ folder" - libtess, a general polygon tesselation library ; - openFX_extensions, which is just two files and from the authors of Natron ; - openMVG, which are patched source files of another project ; - qhttpserver/http-parser, an asynchronous HTTP parser ; - qhttpserver, whose readme says it's not actively maintained and points a nicer project to use.
So I think packaging this is quite hard. Snark on irc.debian.org
