Summary: Review Request: gspca - v4l2 kernel module driver for webcams https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=209112 ------- Additional Comments From panemade@xxxxxxxxx 2006-10-17 12:43 EST ------- thl, I got information from gspca author Why Module is not in mainstream kernel and when it will be in kernel? ==>From the first times we have to deal with jpeg hardware, video jpeg (raw jpeg) is not human readable. For some reason kernel people, did not want to play with video decoding in the kernel. That is why, spca50x, spca5xx and now gspca is outside the kernel tree. Now somethings have changed(with change of userspace applications need to understand what a video compressor is) with v4l2, we can forward the raw video to userspace, so maybe one day gspca will go in the kernel. what you think about this information? Is this sufficient or need more? Its clear now that gspca will be coming in future releases of upstream kernel. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
