[Bug 260918] Re: needed: libv4l and associated application patches (or "gspca stopped working in 2.6.27")

[Benjamin Drung]

@Alessio:

1. I couldn't apply your patch:
patch: **** malformed patch at line 324:

2. To allow SRUs for older releases than lucid, you should add the
release version into the version string: 0.19-2ubuntu0.1 ->
0.19-2ubuntu0.10.04.1

@Stéphane:

The patch from from Debian is shorter than the one from Fedora.
Therefore we should take the one from Debian.

I am unsubcribing ubuntu-sponsors for now. Please resubscribe the team
once you have an updated debdiff.

Bug description:
libv4l is a user-space library used by several applications in order to convert webcam streams in user-space instead of kernel-space. As gspca is included in 2.6.27 this is needed in order to (re)support a multitude of webcams supported with ordinary applications.

See http://hansdegoede.livejournal.com/3636.html for a more complete description of the software.

The latest version is 0.4.0 and is available from http://people.atrpms.net/~hdegoede/
