I'm currently thinking about releasing Nite2 as a debian package to enable a new version of the openni_tracker, since the old one based on Nite 1.5 is quite unstable.
AFAIK, this can be done using Bloom (
http://ros.org/wiki/bloom/Tutorials/ReleaseThirdParty). Since I have never done this before, it would be nice, if someone could point me to useful information, e.g. other third-party libraries already released with Bloom. Furthermore, I am curious, if s.o. could point me to the release repo/config files for the old Nite library (libopenni-nite-dev).
