New issue 40 by ryan.pav...@gmail.com: Outdated version of
osgpack "vendored" in to trunk build
http://code.google.com/p/vrjuggler/issues/detail?id=40

The TUIO driver includes a bundled version of oscpack. A couple issues:

1. Debian and other distros get nervous about packages including other
packages' source code (for dependency mgmt, avoiding outdated software, and
for security patch reasons), so could it be possible to specify via
configure the location of an external oscpack?

2. The apparently new upstream is on Google Code, with a list of changes
here: http://code.google.com/p/oscpack/source/list It looks like the
vendored version is something around r40, and more recent revisions fix
portability issues (64 bit, and Mac Intel). I haven't tested building with
it, but it might be useful.

Ryan,

We used the version from the TUIO demo just for unpacking data. I'm
not inclined to change if it isn't broken. If you want to make it
optional to choose an external version, I certainly wouldn't object to
that.

I agree that it would be better to reference oscpack externally rather than
having the code bundled with the driver.

OK, we'll make that change.  I'm not sure when we'll get to it though.
