Bug#976232: ITP: ustreamer -- Lightweight and fast MJPG-HTTP streamer

[Sam Reed <sam@reedyboy.net>]

Hey Reinhard,

I'm not currently actively working on it, no. But it's mostly ready to go (I think, anyway. I have had another friend give some feeback) - https://salsa.debian.org/reedy/ustreamer

I'm currently waiting on the next release of ustreamer, as it brings in a couple of changes I upstreamed; fixing some typos and adding a manpage (both of which the Debian packaging scripts flag in different ways), rather than just having them exist in the Debian packaging repo - https://github.com/pikvm/ustreamer/commits?author=reedy

I have just filed https://github.com/pikvm/ustreamer/issues/74 to ask when that might be.

Thanks though for the offer. Please feel free to look over my packaging repo and let me know if you've got feedback.


Sam
