utouch-frame package

Will this package be updated to work in 14.04?

Asked by Ben N.

Also will other related utouch packages be updated to work in 14.04? If not, what's the new alternative for multitouch programming in C++?

Ubuntu 14.04 has the latest release of the frame package.

Sorry for the novice questions: If frame indeed provides the same functionality as utouch-frame,
1) is there somewhere (e.g., online) that will have told me this so that I don't run into this problem again (of thinking that a package is not in 14.04)? and
2) is there documentation of how to migrate code from using utouch-frame to using frame?

Well, the utouch- prefix was removed from the name of several projects a few years ago due to murky (to me at least, since I was not directly involved) legal reasons. I suspect there is no place that mentions it explicitly for the same reasons it was removed.

The upside is that the projects under the new names are the same as the projects under the old names, and should remain compatible. If you're including headers or linking against any of the geis, grail, or frame projects (formerly utouch-geis, utouch-grail, and utouch-frame), you probably just need to removed the string 'utouch-' from your configuration files.
