Package: wnpp The dmx4linux upstream software includes Linux kernel drivers for a number of DMX512 dongles as well as some console utilities such as a soft lighting console. The Debian package currently packages the utilities but not the kernel drivers. The prospective adopter would need to consider packaging the drivers to get the most use out of this package.
DMX512 is a lighting control protocol commonly used in entertainment lighting, such as theatre.

Due to limits on my time, I won't be able to support building the kernel drivers. I will post the package for adoption today. If you're interested in doing the work, Mark, you could consider adding the kernel driver support yourself, adopting the package, and finding a Debian developer to sponsor your work. If you're interested in tackling this project, the Debian mentors [1] is the place to start looking for help.

Thanks very much for that Michael and Dirk. I'm now trying to get my head around building it. Kernel stuff scares me. Do you have any objection to using one of those snapshots to make an updated package for the debian repository ? I've cc'd this to Shaun Jackman, the debian developer responsible for dmx4linux. -- regards Mark
