Hi Dale, |

Hugin has a USE-flag for SIFT which pulls autopano-sift-C as a |
| 4 |
dependency: sift? ( media-gfx/autopano-sift-C ). The SIFT algorithm used |
| 5 |
to be patented [1] which could be a possible reason why the dependency |
| 6 |
was not enabled by default, though you might have to ask the maintainer |
| 7 |
for that. The patent is expired as of this year, so there is probably |
| 8 |
little reason to not enable the USE flag for you. "autopano-noop" is an |
| 9 |
obsolete wrapper [2] for autopano-sift-C which might be an artifact from |
| 10 |
an earlier hugin version upgrade. |
| 11 |
Anyway, good that you got it to work. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Sincerely, |
| 14 |
Meik |
