Preface

OpenCV installation in linux is not straight forward and a lot of people struggle with that. Also if you want to build OpenCV from source, it does take some time to install all the dependencies and build it from source. Hence, to avoid all of that, this project was created.

Motivation

Credit goes to my colleague Sohil Patel who first asked me to create a custom Ubuntu based distribution which had OpenCV installed in it by default(which was built from source and not from the ubuntu synaptic package manager as that can be a bit old sometimes). He also wanted codeblocks ide installed in it by default. Sohil formats/changes computers a lot and is always on the move. So, for him something like this would be very handy. A custom opencv ubuntu distro! This is the root cause/motivation for the creation of this project
