Since 16.04 (Xenial Xerus) is now feature-frozen, one supposes this isn't going to happen for the present LTS release.
This is unfortunate, because the pressing problem with retaining the ancient OpenCV 2.4 in Xenial is that it doesn't include Python 3 bindings. The python-opencv package requires Python 2.7, which is not a good state of affairs going forward into a new LTS: http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/python-opencv Note also the related bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/opencv/+bug/1540168 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1516985 Title: Package update to 3.0 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/opencv/+bug/1516985/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
