Bug#264538: RFH: usbcam-hotplug - hotplug scripts for usb cameras

["John R. McPherson" <jrm@wlug.org.nz>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

I'm looking for a developer to package and maintain a small package.

usbcam-hotplug is a couple of scripts for hotplug that will start
one of the appropriate programs for transfering pictures from a
USB camera. The main reason for this package is so that desktop users with
usb cameras don't need to manually set up hotplug and manually start their
preferred application each time they hook up the camera.
The example hotplug script in the libgphoto2 doc directory isn't so
useful for debian users because it relies on pam_console/console
permissions.

There is also a hacky little zenity script that users can run to
see which appropriate programs are installed, and they can choose
their preferred app.

I'm not a debian developer and I'm not that familiar with policy etc
but I've attempted to create a deb. Source is online at
http://www.wlug.org.nz/~jrm/usbcam/

If this gets debianized, it would be nice if the front-end apps
(gtkam, gthumb, digikam etc) recommended this package...

Thanks
John McPherson
