The past few days I've been spending some time trying to get p/s/g installed on my system, and for various reasons, I'm having trouble doing so. My plan was to get those installed, and then work on writing up a spec file for gazebo. However, knowing that someone else is also working on that, coupled with my limited experience with packaging in general, also coupled that I'm going to be gone for the next two weeks, leads me to believe that (for now) I should work on something simpler. If no one objects, I'll work on packaging nxt_python, since python programs are generally easier to package. I've already started and should have a spec file written in another hour or so, and hopefully can run some tests this afternoon. Barring no problems, I should be able to submit a package to bugzilla in the near future. I realize that nxt_python isn't critical path and p/s/g and a live-cd are, but I don't yet have enough knowledge to work on packaging gazebo. Once I get back from being gone for two weeks, I should have time to delve deeper and learn enough to be useful. If anyone has any suggestings on what else I could do, I'd be more than happy to listen :)

I've been meaning to catch up with you.
If you want something critical to work on. The player package is currently under review...but is stuck because it will not build against Fedora development. I'm pretty sure it just needs a minor patch due to an api change in the geos package, which it builds against. Some function calls from geos have changed in geos 3.0. If you can figure out what needs to be patched so player will build against geos 3.0 that would be keen.
Both the player and stage packages under review do build and install against Fedora 9 however. If you want to dig into player/stage you can grab the srpms from the reviews and build them locally to work with until we can get player patched and past review.
Sadly I just moved, and until the phone company decides they actually want to connect service back to me I'm going to have a hard time working on getting player patched and past review. It will happen, but maybe not this week.

I'll go grab the player and stage srpms, install them, and dig in. Don't expect much in terms of a patch since I've only got another day to work before I'll be gone for two weeks. I'll see what I can do, but by the time I get back my guess is you all will probably have already patched it and will be working on other things. I've got nxt_python packaged, so if you'd like I can submit it via bugzilla as soon as I test it with mock/koji.

Let me know the bugzilla ticket number for the submission.
Are you sponsored yet as a contributor?
Even if you don't have time to patch player. Getting it up and running on an F9 system as is and starting to dig into it would probably be good to do if you don't have experience with it already.

Do you have the nxt hardware locally?
I've already talked to the python nxt developer and he is open to someone taking over for it as upstream and extending it to support additional hardware 3rd party I2C hardware that is becoming available over time... such as hardware from mindsensors and hitechnic.

Nope, I don't have the nxt hardware locally. There's a good chance I can get it from a friend or two though. When I get back on the grid, I'll take a look at python_nxt in more depth and see if it's something I'd be interested in developing.

Neither one of the srpms for player or stage seems to want to install properly on my system. They install without errors (but with warnings about the users 'joy' and 'tim' not existing), but I don't see any installed files, period. I'm running an x86_64 system, if that helps any. Most likely, I'm simply being an idiot about something, but I can't get them installed properly.

I'll generate some F9 64bit binaries which should work and drop them in my fedorapeople, thought problem not in time to get to you before your two week's off the grid.

Alright, that'll work. Once I get back, fedora-robotics will be my main focus.

Jef,
It turns out I was right -- I was making a newbie mistake trying to install the srpms. I've got player now installed and stage is compiling as I write this email, so don't worry about building any 64bit binaries.
