Add latest Meshroom binary release from https://github.com/alicevision/Meshroom/releases/tag/v2021.1.0

Tested with the AliceVision buddha dataset on NixOS 22.05, using the proprietary NVIDIA driver with an RTX 3080.

Why include it in this repo rather than nixpkgs?

aidalgol commented 2 years ago

Because this is using the pre-built binary release instead of building from source, much like the blender-bin flake. I have a work in progress to package it from source for nixpkgs, but there is an open issue blocking that effort (https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/191313), so until that is resolved, this seems like the next best option to make Meshroom easily available for NixOS.

This repos description says:

and this is open source software.

So it seem not a good fit.

There are some -bin packages in nixpkgs and another option is NUR.

I see forward to finally be able to use this software. Thanks for your effort!

It does say that, but then it also has the blender-bin flake, so it seemed reasonable.
