Hi,
I'd like to package osgaudio, which is an OpenSceneGraph-like frontend
to OpenAL.
It is currently maintained by OpenSceneGraph's main author at:
https://github.com/robertosfield/osgaudio/
It requires and contains openalpp, a C++ frontend for OpenAL.
We haven't shipped openalpp since Fedora 7.
The original project for openalpp hasn't been updated since 2005 or so.
I've searched for a better fork of openalpp and haven't found any.
My proposal is to install openalpp alongside osgaudio, in separate
subpackages with appropriate Requires. That way, we provide a choice
between a C++ interface to OpenAL or a SceneGraph approach to 3D
sound.
I believe this approach is not in violation of:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Bundled_Software_policy
as osgaudio and openalpp would live in separate packages (built from
the same srpm), in effect both becoming system libraries.
Your proposal is correct. However, if there are other consumers of the
openalpp code, it might be worth asking osgaudio upstream to distribute
openalpp separately and support linking against the external library.
Do you know of any other projects that depend on openalpp?
Regards,
Dominik
