I tried to submit gspca kmod which I really meant to submit gspcav2 kmod. later on upstream forked tarball to gspcav1. So if you want my old packaged gspcav2 rpms, download if from http://people.redhat.com/pnemade/Deffered/gspca/ These contains gspcav2 kmod. > > Also while kmods have many problems, I think we'll continue to see > use cases for them, so getting through the pain of maintaining them > does build up useful infrastructure. > > Last time I checked, building kmod rpms needed too many additional > requirements, so I decided to stay at "make; make install" for each > new kernel for my own machine. > regards, Parag. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
