[Bf-committers] OpenSubdiv status

Thu Aug 6 15:08:17 CEST 2015

Hi Sergey,

what should I say: Amazing work as always!

To ease the pain of compiling OpenSubdiv for Ubuntu (Debian) I added
OpenSubdiv support to our build_deps.sh script. You can find it here
https://developer.blender.org/D1452

Build options & the actual version we'd like to rely on are not final -
just tell me what you need there... I'll be available in IRC today, maybe
we'll meet later...

This is just to give you a heads up, so you can concentrate on more
important stuff than fiddling with shell scripts ;)

Many greetings,
Thomas
