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.

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.
