Given that 16.04 (Xenial Xerus) is now feature-frozen, it seems unlikely this is going to happen for the present LTS release.
This is unfortunate, because the pressing problem with retaining the ancient OpenCV 2.4 in Xenial is that it doesn't include Python 3 bindings. The python-opencv package requires Python 2.7, which is not a good state of affairs going forward into a new LTS: http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/python-opencv Note also the related bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/opencv/+bug/1516985 for upgrading to OpenCV 3.x. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to opencv in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1540168 Title: Update OpenCV version for 16.04 Status in opencv package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The Ubuntu 16.04 alpha still only contains OpenCV 2.4. It would be really good to update to OpenCV 3.1 for a distribution to be released in 2016, as the 2.4 series is getting quite old.
