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 [1] https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/libwebcam _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
