Binary package hint: hugin
Hi,
As stated in Bug #301352, and duplicates (Bug #310733, and Bug #327027), and also in Bug #162575 (and duplicate Bug #289536), the executable name of autopano in Hugin default config is not correct, making the application unusable.
Fix applied in Jaunty:
Write a patch to use the right autopano executable name by default (patch 52_ubuntu_autopano-sift). This is because the Mono application autopano-sift does not exists in Debian.
Patch to apply:
See debdiff
TEST CASE:
- Install Hugin with apt-get install hugin
- run it from menu, and choose the 2 picture I put in this bug report (Load images)
- Click on the Align button
- it fails with "command: autopano-sift --maxmatches 20 /tmp/ap_resBMu46W "/home/fabrice/temp/miniDSC00101.JPG" "/home/fabrice/temp/miniDSC00102.JPG" failed with error code: 255"
When fixed, it should autodetect matching points automatically, and show the resulting panorama.
When uninstalling Hugin, don't forget to delete .hugin directory in your home
Risk of regression:
- As this affect default parameters, it won't affect existing users that already fixed the bad default executable command (that's why you have to delete .hugin directory to reproduce the problem)
- In case of wrong new default parameters, it will still be possible to update the parameters manually.
- hugin has no rdepend
So is this really a duplicate of bug 301352? If so, please nominate 301352 for intrepid and close this as a duplicate. If it is a separate bug, please get it fixed in Jaunty first. Do *not* open separate "SRU only" bugs, please (see SRU policy).
In either case, please subscribe motu-sru to the target bug to get their approval. Thank you!
