I am using this package description for a while now to automatically resolve dependencies during source builds and to distribute binary Debian and RPM packages of libcamera for a popular robotics middleware.\n\nWith v3, I applied some previously suggested changes, such as a list of licences, and I wanted to see if you would consider adding this now to libcamera. I am also happy to maintain this file in this repo going forward, since I am maintaining the binary packages anyway, and I am also offering to add a CI pipeline to check that this file is still up-to-date with respect to the build and runtime dependencies.\n\nChristian Rauch (1):\n package metadata\n\n package.xml | 45 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++\n 1 file changed, 45 insertions(+)\n create mode 100644 package.xml\n\n--\n2.43.0" }
