I doubt they will allow it, since then their SDK will be available to the public. Also it will need to be under a license that allows redistribution, otherwise I can’t get it into the build service (they refused the PhysX SDK, too).
But if they do, that would be cool.
Yeah, the maya exporter only consists of a few files. But I’ll have to be careful when compiling & linking so I don’t do something that breaks on other distros.
I had to remove Panda3D from the OBS as they do not allow applications using ffmpeg. I’m actively looking for a replacement, at the moment.
This is definitely the way to distribute software for distributions.
A link to these directions should go on the main “Download” page: (panda3d.org/download.php).
That said, I put in the Fedora 11 repository, but there are no packages. Is this right?

I’ve found RPM Fusion where I could perhaps host Panda3D for Fedora, but I’ll probably need to spend a week or two packaging Panda and it’s dependencies for Fedora.
Thank you for your efforts. Dealing with separate repositories will obviously be more difficult.
I came across this thread originally looking for a .spec file that I could use with the tar ball to generate an rpm. I assume that one must exist. Would you happen to have a spec file that I could use? Could it be included with every panda tar ball?
-Frank
Here is the spec-file that I have used for the OBS, for 1.6.2:
152.10.254.215/~pro-rsoft/panda3d.spec
If you invoke makepanda with the --installer option, it will automatically create a specfile too, and generate an rpm with that.
I’ll try, for the upcoming 1.7.0 version.
just to be sure, have you stopped to maintain the ubuntu repository dists rdb? I see no dist folder for lucid…
What about packages for Fedora 13?
The deb repositories are back, with the new buildbot setup that I use:
panda3d.org/forums/viewtopic … 5615#65615
With the buildbot supporting Fedora now, I could set-up RPM repositories too, but only if enough people request it.
Hi.
Now that debian wheezy is out, could it be possible to create a deb for panda?
Thanks a lot.
P.S. I just found that OpenSuse Build Service only supports Debian 5 (lenny) and Debian 6 (Squeeze)… So no problem… thanks
I’ll see if I can find time to create a wheezy buildbot and a repository at archive.panda3d.org/debian .
For the record, we don’t use the OpenSUSE build service any more, we use our own build servers now.
