Wow, this is outrageous, it needs to be fixed immediately. This fucks up everybody working in computer vision. This is a huge amount of people. OpenCV 2.4.9 is from 2014 and not even the bugfix releases up to 2.4.12 have made it into Ubuntu. 3.0 came out in 2015... and 3.1 in January this year. Come on. Compiling from source creates a huge hassle for everybody when you want to distribute your software or code. 99% of the people running our stuff are not nerds like us experienced developers that can compile OpenCV with CMake in 15mins. Ubuntu, you can do better than that. Not having 3.0/3.1 in 16.04 is a horrendous disappointment. This cannot happen.
