Package: ivtv-utils Version: 1.2.0-1 Severity: minor Hello,
After recently purchasing a card supported by the IVTV driver, I've been installing ivtv-utils and similar to get things up and running. Documentation in ivtv-utils says (in file /usr/share/doc/ivtv-utils/README.Debian): The IVTV drivers require firmware which can be obtained by installing the firmware-ivtv package from non-free. (previously the firmware package was called ivtv-firmware.) However, as far as I can tell, neither packages named firmware-ivtv nor ivtv-firmware are currently available in Debian lenny, squeeze or sid, in main contrib or non-free. Downloading and installing the firmware as suggested on the IVTV Wiki at http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Firmware causes everything to work correctly. Would it be more sensible to point people either to that URL or directly to the tarball at http://dl.ivtvdriver.org/ivtv/firmware/ivtv-firmware.tar.gz in the ivtv-utils documentation? All the best, -Dave. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (550, 'testing'), (450, 'unstable'), (450, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.29.1 Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages ivtv-utils depends on: ii libc6 2.9-4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libconfig-inifiles-perl 2.47-1 Read .ini-style configuration file ii libgcc1 1:4.3.3-5 GCC support library ii libstdc++6 4.3.3-5 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libvideo-ivtv-perl 0.13-6+b1 Perl extension for using V4l2 in t ii perl 5.10.0-19 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction Versions of packages ivtv-utils recommends: ii devscripts 2.10.47 scripts to make the life of a Debi ii fakeroot 1.12.2 Gives a fake root environment pn perl-tk <none> (no description available) ii unzip 5.52-12 De-archiver for .zip files ivtv-utils suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
