Orxonox

Hi all,

I just uploaded a new version of the orxonox packages to our Debian repository. Packages are available for Debian unstable amd64 and i386 and are made from the 0.0.5 tag. See the download page for instructions.

For this to work properly I had to fix two other packages. Ogre (1.7.1) just got a binary-only rebuild for linking to a newer version of libboost (yes, ogre has threading enabled). And cegui (0.7.5 from Debian experimental) needed some fixes (especially enabling the ceguiogrerenderer; Bugs: #627556, #627558 and #627626). All these updated packages are available in the orxonox Debian repository.

Cheers, Adi

nice, thanks a lot.

now we finally have to update our ubuntu packages (which i think are only available for 10.04 which is obviously more than a year old...)

Thanks for your work adi!

And a big yay for Ogre with threading support, background loading is coming closer

Cool!

But I do have one question about the last bug report. You say
"Sadly the other cegui libs will link to
ceguiogrerenderer so there will be no use in splitting it up into a separate
package."

But how can that be? the ceguibase cannot really link against the ceguiogrerenderer. Or do I misunderstand that?

And something else: what about a binary package for Debian squeeze?

I just noticed, its only libCEGUISampleHelper that links to the ogre renderer. This library can probably be omitted in the package or split in its own package if needed.

A squeeze package should not be a problem, all dependencies are met. (Firing up the build environments ...)
UPDATE: done

UPDATE2: there are new ogre packages in Debian unstable, so I removed the ones from the orxonox repository.
