Detailed Description

The upstream librealsense2 release does not support older camera models such as F200, R200, LR200 and ZR300. Newer models are only supported by the new version. Thus, we need both libraries in order to support all camera models. The librealsense package will be bumped to the new release, and an additional librealsense1 package will be submitted for review.

Currently, no package depends on librealsense:
