Bug#406335: secondlife package information
I'll leave the ITP closed for the moment but I am working on secondlife
debian and ubuntu packages and I am still distributing them via
http://omvviewer.byteme.org.uk
I would kindly ask if anyone else wants to help finish this off that
they contact my self, you will also find that I am part of the upstream
(offical) snowglobe project, which any packages of secondlife should be
based on.
There are still dependencies that need to go into debian to complete
this package, currently these are all on my apt repository
apt.byeteme.org.uk and are :-
libcurl-cares (libcurl build with openssl cares and --non-blocking option)
boost-coroutines (not an offical part of boost, a summer of code boost
prject from a few years bacl)
libllqtwebkit (a library to embed webkit browsers in other applications)
libndofdev (a library for talking to spacenav joysticks)
glh-linear ( a glh header for accessing wrapping some extended opengl
functions)
libjsoncpp (a c++ json library)
I have prototype functional packages for all of these files, but all
would need further work to be of suitable standard to include in the
archive.
The other issue I have is the release rate of secondlife/snowglobe vs
the archive update rate. We could end up with massivly out of date
secondlife viewers, I know there are backports etc options but it is
extra work and something that needs considering.
Anyway, i'm happy to work with anyone else who wants to help get these
dependencies in the archive and actually get this in the archive.
Best regards
Robin Cornelius
