Dear Debian developers,I am the maintainer of the Debian package of Sight [1], a toolkit for medical imaging software.
We rely a lot on the Ogre3D engine for the visualisation. However the Ogre version (1.12.10) present in Debian is more than two years old. We would like to upgrade to a more recent version to benefit from bugfixes, enhancements and to ease the multiple platform support.
Is there any plan to update the version of ogre soon ? I noticed a branch 13.3 was started but apparently it has never been uploaded. Was there any technical difficulty arising ? I guess for compatibility issues with dependencies, there is a need to keep the 1.12 version anyway.
If the answer is negative, I can offer my help to try to solve the issues or to develop a new package, ogre-1.14 for instance. However, I am not an official Debian developer so I would need a sponsor for checking the package and the upload.
Thank you in advance for your answer, Best regards, [1] https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/sight -- *Dr. Flavien BRIDAULT* Director of Software Development IRCAD France & IRCAD Africa flavien.bridault@ircad.fr <mailto:flavien.bridault-louchez@ircad.fr> Tél. : +33 (0)3 88 119 201 IRCAD France http://www.ircad.fr/ http://www.ircad.africa/ <http://www.ircad.fr/> Suivez l'IRCAD sur Facebook <http://www.facebook.com/pages/IRCAD/193785273990141> *IRCAD France* Hôpitaux Universitaires - 1, place de l'Hôpital - 67091 Strasbourg Cedex - FRANCE
