Hi Debian Mentors (and OpenKinect people), I am looking for a sponsor for my package "kinect-audio-setup", it is needed to enable audio input from the Microsoft Kinect sensor device. I am also one of the upstream authors.
* Package name : kinect-audio-setup
Version : 0.1
Upstream Author : Drew Fisher <drew.m.fis...@gmail.com>,
Antonio Ospite <osp...@studenti.unina.it>
* URL : http://git.ao2.it/kinect-audio-setup.git/
* License : BSD-2-Clause, WTFPL
Programming Lang: C, Posix shell
Description : enable audio input from the Microsoft Kinect sensor
device
It builds the binary package: kinect-audio-setup.
kinect-audio-setup provides:
- kinect_fetch_fw which downloads and extracts the firmware from the
Microsoft Kinect SDK;
- kinect_upload_fw which loads the firmware to the generic USB device
in order to get the USB Audio Class device to show up;
- udev rules to call kinect_upload_fw when the device is plugged in.
kinect_fetch_fw is invoked in the postint hook to download the
non re-distributable binary firmware needed to have the USB Audio Class
device.
On debian-legal[1] I've been told that using the kinect word in
the project name should be OK, and that —because of the use of a binary
firmware— the package needs to go in 'contrib', so I choose
'contrib/sound' as the section.
Note that pulseaudio >= 1.0 is needed for the actual audio input to work
but I am not depending on it as technically it is not needed to make
the above programs work, should I suggest or recommend it?
To access further information about this package, please visit the
following URL:
http://bugs.debian.org/645072
The package can be downloaded with dget using this command:
dget -u http://ao2.it/debian/kinect-audio-setup_0.1-1.dsc
The source package can be found in the 'debian' branch at:
http://git.ao2.it/kinect-audio-setup.git/
The package has been tested with pbuilder, checked with lintian,
verified to be piuparts clean.
Thanks,
Antonio
