Re: primesense-nite-nonfree should install resulting package?

 With the primesense-nite-nonfree, it downloads the binary and generates

 it automatically, since that's the only purpose of installing
 primesense-nite-nonfree.

 How does that sound?

I didn't do it in the beginning to avoid problems with the licence, just
in case (out of ignorance and lack of time to check :).

Feel free to add it.
What the package actually needs is a sort of sha256 checksum like
flashplugin does, but yeah installing the new package is only a line :)

 Ah, cool, so we have an uploader :)  I'm just a DM.  I'm not sure about

I'm a DD.

BTW, update to the pkgs status:

I tried yesterday the three repos, they worked.
I just pushed a couple of patches to fix small (but necessary) things.

I just realized that we need to fix the .ini file for Kinect, I had to
change InputFormat=1 which was commented, to make it work.

Also, udev rules, does anybody know if we need OWNER=root or it can be
xxx as set by upstream?

Next steps:

- Enable Mono in openni so that it can be re-enabled in NITE.
  - the Makefile for NITE  OpenNI relies on the presence of the mono
exec to compile mono, which means that in a chroot env it compiles
without problems, but when build outside in an env which has mono
installed it will fail.

The reason of the failure is that the upstream install.sh script do
not detach the build from the (post) installation process.
As per my mono understanding (noob) we need to compile GAC in
postinst, while create the DLL at build time. Until we split this
behaviour (should be easy) we cannot build mono package and both
openni and NITE are inherently broken.


- Re-enable quilt, so that we can patch the Samples to be able to find
  their XML in a different location than ../../../../Data, and
  package it as openni-samples, the same for nite and kinect IIRC.

- Fix all the lintian complaints and the .ini :)

- Fix the SONAME and .so versioning issue, it depends on the email I
  still have to send to upstream about their build system :)
  So far this is not a real problem, until we'll have more than one
  version we need to be able to link at the same time.

After that we might be able to consider an upload to unstable, IMHO.

cheers,
 C.

Adding a point:

- upstream uses tinyXML, having its src embedded in the repo.
  We should try to use, as per policy, the libTinyXML provided by
  Debian  instead, which makes easier the (security) updates related to
  this lib.

 Otherwise we should strictly monitor tinyxml reports and fix them
 ourselves if upstream is not responsive on that.

 This is not a blocker for unstable, though.

cheers,
 Cosimo.

 So, on that note, the optimization flags are in the upstream build system.

It's on my TODO list to contact upstream and ask the rationale behind
the current build system.
I'll write the email in the next days, but if someone is planning to do
the same please put me in CC.
