Hi Daniel and Dimitri.

Yes, we're using OpenSG .deb-packages here, but the plan to make them  
public was cut by deadlines so far. We could also "donate" an edgy /  
feisty box for nightly builds - I'll have to check this (and have to  
find somebody / pay somebody for setting up a buildbot).

Yes, apt-get install libopensg makes life _a lot_ easier if you have  
to maintain 5 - 15 machines. ;) However, our own packages have some  
additions that are not good enough (read: quck'n'dirty)  to be "in  
the wild".

We're working with (nearly) current 1.8 cvs versions without  
problems, haven't tried 2.0 so far...

To be honest, I don't have that much to do with it, but I'm sure  
Dimitri will have some hints.  I set him on bcc.

This is nearly what we did, but should be easy to change. Still open  
for discussion..  I tend to say you're right, it's a littlebit too  
fine grained (who uses system alone anyway? And if so, who cares  
about unnecessary 312kb optimized libopensgGLUT?) In fact, using apt  
it doesn't really matter, as it fetches all it needs by itselff if  
you install libopensg-GLUT

Should be sufficient. As long as qt is optional. But even that should  
be no problem, as it doesn't taint your licensing as long as you  
don't link it....  But an additional libopensg-src with the debian  
build packages would be a good thing...

Yours,
Dominik
