dear fellow pkg-multimedia members,

i just finished packaging "assimp", an "Open Asset Import Library".
for those who don't know what this means, it is a library that allows
you to load/import a large number of 3D model formats (right, no stock
market involved at all...)

the target audience is application developers of game engines (3d
shooters and the like) as well as 3d modellers and realtime renderers.

i'm not totally sure whether this fits into the "pkg-multimedia" agenda
(personally, i believe so; how about you?), so i started the project in
collab-maint.

if somebody here is interested in team-maintaining it in pkg-multimedia,
i will gladly move it over.


i also sent an email to debian-mentors@ and uploaded it to mentors.d.n.

here is the body of the email to d-m@

<snip>
* Package name    : assimp
   Version         : 2.0.863~dfsg-1
   Upstream Author : ASSIMP Development team
 * URL             : http://assimp.sf.net
 * License         : BSD (3-clause)
   Section         : graphics

"Assimp" is a "3D model import library", meaing you can use it to import
3D scenes (as exported by blender, alias/wavefront, maya, 3dmax, and
lots more) into your applications (typically game engines or 3D
modellers / realtime renderers)

To access further information about this package, please visit the
following URL:

  http://mentors.debian.net/package/assimp

Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:

 dget -x
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/a/assimp/assimp_2.0.863~dfsg-1.dsc

the repository for the packaging can be found at
ssh+git://git.debian.org/collab-maint/assimp

the package uses cdbs for packaging.

the package has been repackaged to strip away non-dfsg parts from
upstream tarball.

i someone would be willing to have a look at it, i would be very
thankful. i would especially like to hear comments on the following topics:
- - repackaging (for dfsg-compliancy)
- - the debian/libassimp2.symbols file
- - python bindings package
- - D bindings package
- - ...

hopeing to find a partner in crime...:-)

cheers,
IOhannes
