Bug#583501: RFA: xserver-xorg-video-openchrome -- display driver for VIA Unichrome video chipsets



Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
X-debbugs-cc: debian-x@lists.debian.org, debian-devel@lists.debian.org

Hi,

I no longer have time and working hardware to maintain and test the package. 
I'm therefore looking for somebody who wants to adopt it.

Anyone willing to maintain it please contact the Debian X Strike Force 
(debian-x@lists.d.o).

Some info about the package:
Description: X.Org X server -- VIA display driver
 OpenChrome is a project for the development of free and open-source drivers
 for the VIA UniChrome video chipsets.
 .
 Originally called the 'snapshot' release, since it was a snapshot of an
 experimental branch of the unichrome cvs code, this is a continued 
development
 of the open source unichrome driver (from http://unichrome.sf.net) which
 also incorporates support for the unichrome-pro chipsets.
 .
 Support for hardware acceleration (XvMC) for all chipsets has subsequently
 been ripped out of the unichrome.sf.net driver. Therefore your only option if
 you wish to make use of the acceleration features of your VIA chip with free
 and open-source drivers is to use this version of the driver.
Homepage: http://www.openchrome.org
Vcs-Browser: http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-xorg/driver/xserver-xorg-video-
openchrome.git
Vcs-Git: git://git.debian.org/git/pkg-xorg/driver/xserver-xorg-video-
openchrome

I'm going to make one, hopefully last, upload to reflect some changes to the 
xorg packages build system.

Cheers,
