Josch, orocos-bfl is packaged (not perfect), but not officially. See: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/debian-science/packages/orocos/bfl.git/ The project is not dead, but AFAIK upstream is the orocos team, specially Klaas Gadeyne. However, I guess that is not very active. Leopold PS you know that you are _always_ welcome to contribute to the Robotic packages ;-) -- -- Linux User 152692 GPG: 05F4A7A949A2D9AA Catalonia ------------------------------------- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
