[Touch-packages] [Bug 1540168] Re: Update OpenCV version for 16.04

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1540168] Re: Update OpenCV version for 16.04
UPDATE, it's not directly OpenCV's fault that GCC versions later than 4.9 are not supported. It's actually CUDA 7.5 that doesn't support GCC versions later than 4.9.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1540168] Re: Update OpenCV version for 16.04
There is another pressing issue. When I tried to compile OpenCV 3.1.0 from source, it complains that GCC versions later than 4.9 are not supported. The version of GCC that ships with Ubuntu 16.04 is 5.3.1 I think, which is nice. So the fact that OpenCV doesn't support it is a real shame.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1540168] Re: Update OpenCV version for 16.04
FYI, I opened bug #1556156 just now for the specific issue of the currently-shipped OpenCV version lacking Python 3 support altogether. As that issue is contingent on first shipping OpenCV 3.0, and the implications of failing to do so for the next LTS are not limited to merely the question of Python support, I am copying the full ticket description here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/debian/+source/opencv/+bug/1556156 Because the packaged OpenCV remains at the obsolete 2.4 release even still in 16.04 (Xenial Xerus), which is already in feature freeze, it is looking as though 2018 is the earliest that an Ubuntu LTS release will package OpenCV 3.x, which at that point will be already some 4 years old. (And the currently-shipped OpenCV 2.x branch will be going on 9 years.) See bugs #1516985 and #1540168. This is not a great state of affairs for such an important package, but what exacerbates the situation is that OpenCV in Ubuntu (and in Debian) currently altogether lacks Python 3 support. Namely, the current OpenCV 2.4 packages support only Python 2.7, since Python 3 support was introduced only in OpenCV 3.0 [1], which was only packaged in Debian (experimental) last December. This has already been a pain point for OpenCV users (and some packages requiring OpenCV) and is likely to become a burning problem over the course of this LTS release's lifecycle. The robotics community (e.g. ROS users), in particular, rely on Ubuntu LTS as a platform, and are going to be rather rudely surprised both by Xenial's old OpenCV release and still more by its lack of Python 3 support. The relevant upstream Debian bugs are 799262 [2] and 792677 [3]. As mentioned, OpenCV 3.0 has already been packaged in Debian (packages libopencv-*3.0) and could be imported to Ubuntu. The Python bindings (python-opencv) still remain with a Python 2.7 requirement, however, which needs work upstream. What can be done here? Would there be any prospect at all for a feature freeze exception so as to ship OpenCV 3 for Xenial? Once the base libraries are available, the Python 3 packaging is a much lesser problem and could even be done via PyPI.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1540168] Re: Update OpenCV version for 16.04
Given that 16.04 (Xenial Xerus) is now feature-frozen, it seems unlikely this is going to happen for the present LTS release. This is unfortunate, because the pressing problem with retaining the ancient OpenCV 2.4 in Xenial is that it doesn't include Python 3 bindings. The python-opencv package requires Python 2.7, which is not a good state of affairs going forward into a new LTS: http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/python-opencv Note also the related bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/opencv/+bug/1516985 for upgrading to OpenCV 3.x. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to opencv in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1540168 Title: Update OpenCV version for 16.04 Status in opencv package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The Ubuntu 16.04 alpha still only contains OpenCV 2.4.
