Dear Debian developers,During the late summer, I launched a bottle in the sea about the status of the Ogre package. I didn't get any answer so far, but I give a new try today. :)
I took a look at the dependencies, I can see there are only a few: # apt-cache rdepends libogre1.12.10 libogre1.12.10 Reverse Depends: libogre-1.12-dev rviz python3-ogre-1.12 ogre-1.12-tools libsight librviz6d libmygui.ogreplatform0debian1v5So, to sum up, other ogre packages, sight (so me :) ), libmygui and rviz. Sight already builds with 1.14, libmygui too, for rviz I don't know but it looks quite active so I don't see any reason they could not update. I did myself the update from 1.12 to 1.14 in sight and it was not that dramatic. So in my humble opinion, it is maybe not worth keeping a 1.12 version.
Once again, if that can help, I can offer to work on this or to work on a new ogre-1.14 package. I just need some guidance to know if I should start with the current repository or a fresh one, and of course some sponsorship to get access to the repo and provide support for the upload.

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
