Hi Mario,
Many of the libraries we include with Seg3D have been modified, even if the
modifications are as basic as replacing their default builds with CMake and
doing some symbol mangling to make libraries play well with ITK. Our Boost
distribution includes a project from the Boost sandbox that will not be
available in a generic distribution. ITK has been customized as well.
Including specific versions of third-party libraries allows us to maintain
stable Seg3D builds across multiple platforms (Windows, Mac OSX and different
Linux distributions) with the least amount of effort for SCI developers. We
are also tightly coupled to Boost, ITK and Teem, so it is preferable from our
point of view to build against versions that we control.
Having a binary distribution for Fedora would be helpful - it's certainly
been a good thing for our Windows and OS X users, however keeping our
dependencies uniform across supported platforms has eliminated many of the
deployment headaches we used to have in the past.
