Hi all,
Unless someone speaks up in the next week I am going to retire the libwebcam[1] package.
Background: Some of the first USB web cameras using the "UVC" protocol needed a
user-space driver for controlling the hardware features. Logitech developed the
libwebcam library as an interface for users. Around 2014 Logitech stopped
development on it and it is now abandoned.
I have seen replacements pop up with the 'v4l-utils' package and the v4l2-ctl CLI
tool and guvcview graphical tool. Both receive modern care so I don't see a need to
continue shipping the libwebcam package. There are no known (reqoquery) dependencies
on libwebcam.
Thanks,
Michael
