My readme reads:
: inventor for Debian
: -------------------
:
: The Debian package doesn't support the original libFL because it's
: non-free. This has been stripped out of the original tarball.
: Instead it uses the libFL wrapper for FreeType. I recognize this is
: less than optimal, but atm I don't have time to rewrite the thing to
: use normal X fonts and be done with it.
:
: Consider this package permanetly up for adoption. I packaged it
: because I need it at work, as part of another project I'm involved
: with, I really don't do anything with Inventor myself. It's a nice
: package, and in my experience, upstream, that is SGI, is very
: friendly and responsive, at least that's what I've seen with other
: "Open Source" projects of theirs, I don't really know about this
: particular case, but I don't have any reason to think it should be
: different.
I had four packages done:
Package: inventor-dev
Package: libinventor3
Package: inventor-doc
Package: inventor-demos
The demos worked after a bit of fiddling. I hadn't uploaded it to the
archive because upstream doesn't actually use a SONAME for the library,
and I made one up based on the IRIX version. I haven't contacted
upstream about this. The -doc and -demos packages exist because they
are rather large but nice for people that want to know Inventor or for
developers (oppossed to people who just want to compile something)
Let me know if I can help somehow.
