[needs-packaging] Updating OpenCV to 2.0

[kecsap]

The OpenCV 2.0 was released on 1th of October. The current version (1.0) is more than 2 years old. You can download it from:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencvlibrary/files/

Please do it at least in Karmic+Jaunty.

Subsequently, I'm setting this bug's status to Wishlist.

Debian sid have already had the new packages of opencv.

Hmm, it is in unstable only. Will it be in Lucid automatically? AFAIK lucid grabs the packages only from testing.

(I checked the Ubuntu release policy and I see that it is only possible to get OpenCV 2.0 to Lucid, so forget about Karmic/Jaunty in this bug report.)

[Chihiro Kuroki (9nzj7bot)]

After a version of a software package has remained in unstable for a certain length of time without no serious bugs, that package is automatically migrated to the testing distribution of Debian. So I think they will be in Lucid for a while. It may be difficult to put them into universe packages of Karmic+Jaunty.

Should we close the bug as won't fix or invalid and let's see if the new version does not come to Lucid and open a new bug?

I made a mistake.

I agree with you.

According to the last comments, set to invalid state, it can be closed.
