Description
The project is the Orfeo Toolbox (OTB) available at
http://www.orfeo-toolbox.org. This is a project started by CNES (the French Space Agency) in 2006 to provide open source tools to process satellite images and extract information. There are several links with other OSGeo project such as Gdal and ossim. The project is currently released under the CeCILL license (compatible with GPL).
OTB is included in OSGEO live project since the version 4.5 OTB (and related projects) are already packaged for Ubuntu. Packages are available through launchpad : https://launchpad.net/~otb
There is also a Stable release of the orfeo toolbox built upon ubuntu gis ppa dependencies here : https://launchpad.net/~otb/+archive/orfeotoolbox-stable-ubuntugis

Manuel

Manuel, please let me know your launchpad account name. I'm going to add you in UbuntuGIS.

Hi,
my launchpad id is manuel-grizonnet. I give you also the ids of 2 other maintainers of otb packages julien-malik and sebastien-dinot.
Note that the cuyrrent repository of orfeo toolbox built upon ubuntu gis ppa dependencies provide it's own gdal package because of a known isuues related to conflict between tiff symbols : http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/4144
Hopefully this issue is resolved now in gdal 1.9 : http://osgeo-org.1803224.n2.nabble.com/gdal-dev-Add-capability-to-safely-link-against-an-external-libtiff-3-X-and-a-GDAL-build-with-internat-td6543367.html
Regards,
Manuel

Since gdal 1.9 is not released yet.. I suppose we cannot put your package in UbuntuGIS. Since Oneiric is out... I'm about to bring a new guy into UbuntuGIS pacakging to help me to do a big upgrade. I think we could simply add a patch for your bug into 1.8.1 release. The revisions r22639 and r22640 of gdal svn. Can you confirm that our patched gdal package only needs those changeset?

Correct : it is useless to push the OTB packages in ubuntugis as-is, they won't read TIFFs.
The current gdal package in the OTB ppa includes a patch to *NOT* disable the GTiff driver in case an executable links to libtiff in addition to gdal. Chances are that this is fixed in 1.8.1, but I must double-check.
We now need also r22639 and r22640 otherwise OTB within Qgis makes gdal crash. The commits need to be rebased (the svn diff won't apply correctly on 1.8 branch - it touches the configure and some other moving targets).
I don't have time to look into this just now, but hope to do it within the next week or two. My idea was to use the git mirror of gdal to help in rebasing the commit, see http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/gdal-dev/2011-October/030509.html
If you have a better idea and can apply those two patches easily, I can test a 1.8.1 package on our "otb-nightly" ppa, and report status.

done a few minutes ago. otb packages are finally compatible with the ubuntugis-unstable gdal version.
big thanks to gdal packagers for considering our issues.
+1 to add Manuel to ubuntugis so the OTB packages can be maintained in ubuntu-gis. Will make things much easier with the upcoming work on QGIS-otb plugins.
