Thanks for taking your time to report this issue and help making Ubuntu better.
>"zesty+1". I'm not sure if that means 17.04.2 or not. +1 is referring to the next release after zesty, i.e. artful (17.10). Presumably the original comment was written before the new code name was announced. Artful currently contains opencv 3.1.0+dfsg1-1~exp1ubuntu1 (with a newer version waiting in -proposed), see https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/opencv. Once a newer version is available in the development version in Ubuntu, most upgrade request issues are considered fixed, because a newer version is available and people will upgrade at some point. In some cases, it makes sense to offer the newer version for older releases as well though, you can take a look at how on "Requesting a Backport" at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBackports#Requesting_a_Backport. (In some cases, individual fixes are also applied to older releases (Stable Release Upgrades)). So it might be possible to get a backport of 3.1 available in 16.04 for instance. I am not familiar with this library, but be aware that newer version of libraries often require newer version of their dependencies, so it might not be straight-forward to copy over the sources to 16.04 and rebuild them. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1705861 Title: Update OpenCV to 3.x To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/opencv/+bug/1705861/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
