i've been using this new pwc driver for a while now and have not had any problems with it, tested on i386 and amd64 boxen. so, after looking over the latest version, assuming there are no new issues i'll plan on uploading the pwc-source package to unstable. i don't think this really warrants a cool off period in experimental, but if someone has a reasonable objection then i will put it there instead. i'll probably do this on saturday. quoth teemu: > Since this package claims to be GPL (although there might be issues with the > reverse engineering which this code is based on) is there any reason not to > integrate this code into the kernel-source package and have the pwc.ko > module compiled automatically to kernel-packages? > > The kernel-package-2.6.10-1-686 package already contains several usb-webcam > drivers in the /drivers/usb/media/ directory which are approximately the > same size as pwc.ko. i suppose it could be added to the debianized kernel source package, but since the original author asked to have it yanked from the mainline kernel and it is now itself forked and maintained outside of the kernel, i think this approach makes the most sense. at least for the time being. sean --
