Public bug reported: Dear Ubuntu maintainers,
* Debian mentors upload: https://mentors.debian.net/package/mrpt * Direct .dsc link: https://mentors.debian.net/package/mrpt Short package description: set of C++ libraries and applications for mobile robotics algorithms, computer vision, and autonomous navigation. It is mentioned in 500+ scientific works [1], and the last version shipped with Ubuntu Eoan is 2+ years old (3 missed releases). Please, consider importing the latest stable release of this package into Ubuntu 20.04 I know the Debian import freeze has passed, but we've been working really hard towards this new major release of the library, and couldn't make it before that date. The new version 2.0.0 is right now sitting in Debian mentors but will probably take a while to get into Debian unstable due a problem in its current version of one dependency (libopencv-dev), which is not installable. MRPT 2.0.0 is ensured to build in the current version of 20.04 Focal, as tested in this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~joseluisblancoc/+archive/ubuntu/mrpt/+packages so in theory it shouldn't be problematic to update the version that currently exists in Ubuntu: https://packages.ubuntu.com/source/eoan/mrpt which is actually quite old (2+ years). Any further question of doubt you might have, feel free of writing me! Thanks for your time.
