BTW, update to the pkgs status:
I tried yesterday the three repos, they worked.
I just pushed a couple of patches to fix small (but necessary) things.
I just realized that we need to fix the .ini file for Kinect, I had to
change "InputFormat=1" which was commented, to make it work.
Also, udev rules, does anybody know if we need OWNER="root" or it
can be
"xxx" as set by upstream?
I don't know, but it shouldn't be too hard to test.
Next steps:
- Enable Mono in openni so that it can be re-enabled in NITE.
- the Makefile for NITE & OpenNI relies on the presence of the mono
exec to compile mono, which means that in a chroot env it compiles
without problems, but when build outside in an env which has mono
installed it will fail.
The reason of the failure is that the upstream install.sh script do
not detach the build from the (post) installation process.
As per my mono understanding (noob) we need to compile GAC in
postinst, while create the DLL at build time. Until we split this
behaviour (should be easy) we cannot build mono package and both
openni and NITE are inherently broken.
I guess currently, if we want to use the packages as-is without
fixing the Mono stuff, we could add a Build-Conflicts. But having the
Mono stuff sorted out would be nicer. I just know next to nothing
about Mono/C#/.NET.
- Re-enable quilt, so that we can patch the Samples to be able to find
their XML in a different location than "../../../../Data", and
package it as openni-samples, the same for nite and kinect IIRC.
Sounds good, we might want to name the package that hints that they
are kind of like utilities/debug tools too. Things like a depth
camera viewer, etc.
- Fix all the lintian complaints and the .ini :)
- Fix the SONAME and .so versioning issue, it depends on the email I
still have to send to upstream about their build system :)
So far this is not a real problem, until we'll have more than one
version we need to be able to link at the same time.
After that we might be able to consider an upload to unstable, IMHO.
Yup, glad to see progress.
