Bug Description

Binary package hint: luxrender

LuxRender is a free software rendering system for physically correct image synthesis, licensed under the GPLv3.

It compiles natively under GNU for amd64 and i686. The latter has two variants, the first requiring SSE2 extensions, but it is possible to build a version for legacy i686 systems with only regular SSE extensions. At the time of writing, I am not sure if these three variants are all the possibilities, or if it is possible to build unoptimized native generic binaries from source for other hardware like mipsel, armel, etc..

Hi.
This package used to be in Ubuntu earlier, but was removed from Debian, which Ubuntu is based on (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/luxrender/+bug/709633). The best way might be to file a bug against Debian to get luxrender packaged, and get someone to maintain it there. Then when Ubuntu gets its packages from Debian it would already be included.

Looks like there was some attempt at repackaging luxrender, but I couldn't find any follow-up...
