Hi Cameron, I addes an entry in the #Status document about orfeo toolbox.
The install script for OTB will be very simple I think : *sudo aptitude install add-apt-repository sudo add-apt-repository ppa:otb/orfeotoolbox-stable* *sudo aptitude update * *sudo aptitude install otb otbapp monteverdi* * * I'll send a script for orfeo based on the mapserver script soon.
