[Bug 2054477] [NEW] Update ogre-next to 2.3.1 for Noble

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Jose Luis Rivero (j-rivero):

Version bump for ogre-next to version 2.3.1, well tested by Open
Robotics under the Gazebo simulator.

 * Package PPA:
  - https://code.launchpad.net/~j-rivero/+archive/ubuntu/ogre-next-recipe
 * Bzr and code:
   - https://code.launchpad.net/~j-rivero/+junk/ogre-next

[Other Info]

The package is not included in Debian. The version bump to 2.3.1 has
been used by the Gazebo simulator team for the latest releases of Gazebo
during several years and I've included the patches that has proven to be
necessary, specially for vulkan support.

Changes done in the version bump:
 * Upload upstream code 2.3.1
 * Update d/copyright
 * Fix package name for conflict with 1.9
   (LP: #1987207) (LP: #2003346)
 * Include vulkan patches
 * Include upstream patch to rename the project to Ogre-Next
 * Include patches to deal with the rename and clean up d/rules
 * Include patch for building with recent gcc
 * Remove tinyxml embedded in code

[Dependencies]

There is one direct dependency of ogre-next, ignition-rendering. Given
that the version in Debian/Ubuntu is too old and probably a candidate to
be removed, I've uploaded a new version of ignition-rendering that drops
the support for ogre-next. It is still useful since it can use ogre-1.9.

 * Same package PPA with ogre-next
  - https://code.launchpad.net/~j-rivero/+archive/ubuntu/ogre-next-recipe
 * Git and code for 6.1.0+ds-0ubuntu3:
   - https://code.launchpad.net/~j-rivero/ubuntu/+source/ignition-rendering/+git/ignition-rendering/+ref/ubuntu/devel

There is another package that deal with ogre-next in an indirect manner
providing build helpers: ignition-cmake. I've also patched this package
to improve the ogre-next patch:


 * Same package PPA with ogre-next 2.17.1-2ubuntu2
  - https://code.launchpad.net/~j-rivero/+archive/ubuntu/ogre-next-recipe
 * Git and code for 
   - https://code.launchpad.net/~j-rivero/ubuntu/+source/ignition-cmake/+git/ignition-cmake/+ref/ubuntu/devel

 
[Justification]

ogre-next current version is 2.2.5 and was released in 2021. It does not
support vulkan which probably make the release not interesting for the
vast majority of current rendering developers.
