[Fedora Robotics] New packages up for review

  Hi all,

I've got two robotics-related packages up for review:

assimp - Library to import various 3D model formats into applications
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=635511

libphidget - Drivers and API for Phidget devices
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=635515


Gazebo bundles a copy of assimp, so before I get a Gazebo package in to 
Fedora assimp needs to be reviewed and included.  I have a package based 
on gazebo-0.10.0 ready to go, but release 0.10.0 is pretty unstable and 
I don't think it's ready to be included in Fedora in its current state 
(i.e. quitting the program causes a segfault every time I run it.)  I've 
inquired as to when the next release will be, if it's not in the 
forseeable future I'll try working with an SVN snapshot.  If anyone's 
interested in looking at my gazebo packages, I'll put them up on my 
fedorapeople account.

libphidget is a driver library to work with phidget devices.  Player has 
a driver that depends on this library, so once the library is approved 
I'll patch Player's buildsystem to find it and include libphidget as a 
build requirement.

If anyone has any free time to have a look at either of these, I'd be 
grateful.  I'm willing to do some review work in return if the packages 
aren't too complicated.  I've updated the SIG wiki to reflect the fact 
that these packages are being considered for review.

Thanks,

Rich
