We currently are still forced to use some old pfb models. And we are being told that we also have to use the latest version of OSG for "security" reasons. Puts us in a tough spot if it won't exist any more. If it has to be, then I am sure we can find a way around it, but just thought I would speak up.
Funny how having Performer installed is ok from a security perspective, but not a few month old version of OSG! -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Robert Osfield Sent: Tuesday, June 18, 2013 12:08 PM To: OpenSceneGraph Users Subject: [osg-users] Removing ancient plugins, please read if you want to protect the plugins you need. Hi All, I am currently looking through the OSG plugins and there a couple of plugins that might now be safe to remove. The ones I'm thinking of are: pfb - Performer plugin that loads Performer models using Performer itself. Performer has been support for a while now, I guess there is chance that some users might have a copy installed on an old system, but chances that they'd still us to import models into the OSG are slim. This code is just sitting around unused, I can't compile it so can't support it, so I think it's time to remove it. dw - designer workshop. Does anybody use this type of file anymore? ac - AC3D modeller format. Does anybody use this type of file anymore? All of these plugins are for ancient modellers/middleware that is long been unsupported. The later too are small and don't have any external requirements so I can still compile them, but I haven't any models to test. So... if you have any reason to want any of these plugins please speak up, otherwise I'll remove them from svn and make all our builds and install just a little faster and smaller :-) Thanks in advance for you feedback, Robert. _______________________________________________ osg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.or g _______________________________________________ osg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
