Hi folks,
I recently realized that the opencv module in Fedora doesn't contain the
"nonfree" parts, which are the SURF and SIFT feature detectors. I was
wondering if it's OK to make them available via RPMFusion? Both SIFT and
SURF are widely used feature detectors in vision research. Not having
them around makes all these research folks move away from Fedora.
I'd be happy to maintain the package, if required. I'd just like to have
these available for use.

In general,
I see no problem. This should be similar to e. g.,
https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2206.
That said, IMHO the only way to get the final answer would be to
actually make a review request,
http://rpmfusion.org/Contributors#Create_a_package_review_request.

If you're already a sponsored Fedora packager, then simply follow the steps
documented here to submit an opencv-nonfree package to rpmfusion:
http://rpmfusion.org/Contributors#Submitting_a_new_package
Once you've done that you may want to send a mail to this list asking
for a review swap, otherwise it may take quite long to get a review
done.
Note that we would prefer for opencv-nonfree to just contain a couple
of plugins, or some such, and depend on the Fedora package. If that is
not possible it is allowed to simply copy the Fedora package as base,
add the nonfree bits and make it Conflict with the original, see for
example audacity-nonfree

I'll try making a package that only provides the non free bits. I'm
already a fedora package maintainer. I'll get on it asap.

Hi,
Please note that despite the shared object is named opencv_nonfree.so, this
library will belong to the RPM Fusion free section.
We used to use the opencv-freeworld as the package name in this case.
(instead of opencv-free).
It's also possible to package the opencv_video.so, which last depends on a
cuda compiler. It could be named opencv-nonfree as it will depends on
proprietary software (the nvidia cuda compiler).

I'd be happy to swap reviews :)
