Packages
Interesting software proposed for packaging
- Player, Stage, Gazebo (makghosh, timn)
- Carmen (timn, makghosh)
- Pyrobot (makghosh)
- NBC/NXC (jspaleta)
- Python NXT (jspaleta)
- RoboCup soccer server (hedayat), 2D and 3D soccer simulation servers used in RoboCup
Packages waiting for someone to take over
These packages have been postponed for now due to insufficient man power.
- MARIE (makghosh), no upstream release for a long time, wiki page vandalized, had commits this year though (timn)
- Simbad (makghosh)
- Paparazzi, Open UAVs (timn)
Pending review requests
Accepted packages
- Player - Cross-platform robot device interface and server
- rcssserver3d - RoboCup Soccer Simulation Server 3D
- rcssbase - Robocup 2D Soccer Simulation Base Library
- rcssmonitor - RoboCup 2D Soccer Simulator Monitor
- rcssserver - Robocup 2D Soccer Simulation Server
- rcsslogplayer - RoboCup Soccer Simulator LogPlayer
Packages decided not to package for now
If you want to get involved you could start investigating the code and maybe revive the upstream project! The postponed packages could be packaged later but the have a lower priority as decided by the SIG. (Probably) Won't package:
- RobotFlow (makghosh), upstream looks dead for several years, probably not a good idea (timn), +1, so it goes down the list and maybe moved out if there is no further upstream (makghosh)
