Is opencv with CUDA only to be compiled on the local system

The maintainers have to choose which optional components to include. The main reasons off the top of my head as to why its not included would be:

  1. CUDA is not part of the main repository.
  2. Currently it would create a hard dependency on the CUDA libs.
  3. It would create a much bigger library if all the compute capabilities were supported (> 800MB).
