Jump to new versions in Debian

[aitormf]

Future jumps of versions in Debian

I first put the task list and then a explanation of how the process will. @lr-morales will take care of this part mainly

Task list:

• [ ] gazebo7
• [ ] ice-36
• [ ] opencv3

  Gazebo7

We need make a gazebo7 package for Debian

Ice-36

We need make a Ice 3.6 package for Debian

[fqez]

I think @lr-morales should take the lead with this issue. Moreover I'd like to see how does it do the backports so we can create them for ubuntu if needed.

Extended description

CMake

• Version used: 3.6.1
• Source from: Debian Strech (Unstable)
• Packages depending
  • The Visualization Toolkit (>= 3.2.0)
  • OpenCV (>= 3.1)

Built as needed to build other packages. Note that build test 7 failed when built, but no issues detected when used in both x32 and x64.

Gazebo 7

• Version used: 7.3.0
• Source from: Debian Strech (Unstable)

Built on chrooted Jessie i386/amd64. Host test pending.

Ice

• Version used: 3.6.2
• Source from: pending Debian Strech (Unstable) / ZeroC repository

Solving issue when building packages, most visible in x32.

Ignition Robotics Math Library

• Version used: 2.3.0
• Source from: Debian Strech (Unstable)
• Packages depending
  • Simulation Description Format (SDF) library (>= 2)

Built as needed to build other packages.

OpenCV

• Version used: 3.1.0
• Source from: OpenCV git repository: https://github.com/opencv/opencv

As we are building from sources, we should make sure that OpenCV is built with similar supports in Jessie and in Ubuntu. Need to confirm which flags are being used in xenial packages (@aitormf ?).

Note: Possible bug when building with both OpenNI and OpenNI2 support. Could you confirm that this "bug" is affecting ubuntu too, @aitormf, @fqez? I'll check it again when building against Jessie x32

• Bug affects to Jessie x32 build too.
• Submitted an issue and PR to opencv: opencv/opencv#7290.
• PR merged.

OpenNI 2

• Version used: 2.2.0.33
• Source from: Debian Strech (Unstable)
• Packages depending
  • OpenCV (>= 3.1)

Built as needed to build other packages.

Point Cloud Library

• Version used: 1.8.0
• Source from: Debian Strech (Unstable)

Test pending in both i386/amd64. Waiting for Xenial packagers to confirm version.

The Visualization Toolkit

• Version used: 6.3.0
• Source from: Debian Strech (Unstable)

Had to modify the control file to match Jessie versions whenever possible, so it needs testing to know if works as expected or need to backport related versions.

Waiting for Xenial packagers to confirm version

Simulation Description Format (SDF) library

• Version used: 4.1.0
• Source from: Debian Strech (Unstable)
• Packages depending
  • Gazebo (>= 4)

Built as needed to build other packages.

U-Robot Description Format library and headers

• Version used: 0.4.1 / 1.0.0
• Source from: Debian Strech (Unstable)
• Packages depending
  • Simulation Description Format (SDF) library (>= 0.3)

Built as needed to build other packages. Needed to fix the sources in order to allow a correct build.
