I don't think that a packet management system that is not part of the operating system is of any use. I think that one of the big problems is autopano-sift-c. Being encumbered by a patent, it should not distributed with hugin. On the other hand, hugin requires a control point generator. Another issue is enblend/enfuse. As long a no fine 4.0 is released, we should 3.2 IIRC. So, maybe a modular installer will help? Breaking the monolithic windows installer into sub projects (hugin-gui, hugin-tools, enblend/enfuse, autopano-sift-c, ...) that could be maintained independently but tied together for building the final hugin installer? But then we'd need even more maintainers from the windows camp ... > > Also, in linux, what file is used to find the required packages? I.e. > what file contains the dependency? There is no single file IIRC. And the whole process with all dependencies is documented on http://wiki.panotools.org/Hugin_Compiling_Windows and http://wiki.panotools.org/Build_Hugin_for_Windows_with_SDK We currently have a binary for the 2009.2.0 release. What is needed is a volunteer that repeats this for the 2009.4.0.rc2 so the process is stable once 2009.4.0 is released. And, if there is enough time and urge, a 2009.2.1 version that fixes some issues may be a prudent thing to do, too.
