[Bug 120434] [NEW] [needs-packaging] Ricoh R5U87x Webcam userland tools

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Andres Mujica (andres.mujica):

The driver R5U870 is being replaced by a set of R5U87x userland tools
that load the firmware for the uvcvideo supported webcams and make those
work with  the standard driver.

At this moment the WDM webcameras are only supported by the previous
R5U870 module.

The webcams supported by the userland tools are marked as UVC by this
list:

Originally this bug report was intended to package the R5U870 module,
but at this moment this wouldn't be the best path to follow, as the
package really needed is the R5U87x userland tools available here:

http://www.bitbucket.org/ahixon/r5u87x/

For the people in need of the original module please go to the bug
#219252

This driver is used in Sony Vaio laptops integrated webcams, among
others.

Ubuntu should load this driver whenever the supported devices are
present
