RFS: crystalhd
Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for my package "crystalhd". * Package name: crystalhd Version : 1:0.0~git20101012.a3a83b8-1 Upstream Author : Broadcom Corporation * URL : http://www.broadcom.com/support/crystal_hd/ * License : GPL drivers, LGPL library Section : libs It builds these binary packages: crystalhd-dkms - Crystal HD Video Decoder (Linux kernel driver) gstreamer0.10-crystalhd - Crystal HD Video Decoder (GStreamer plugin) libcrystalhd-dev - Crystal HD Video Decoder (development files) libcrystalhd3 - Crystal HD Video Decoder (shared library) The package appears to be lintian clean. The upload would fix these bugs: 577130 My motivation for maintaining this package is: I'm a dev for XBMC, which uses crystalhd. Also, one of the XBMC devs is also an upstream dev for crystalhd. The package can be found on mentors.debian.net: - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/c/crystalhd - Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free - dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/c/crystalhd/crystalhd_0.0~git20101012.a3a83b8-1.dsc I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.

Ok, so as I said in IRC, upstream is working on getting newer drivers in mainline Linux. However, they would prefer it if distros were kept in sync with them in regards to drivers. So with that said, I'm still looking for someone to review and upload crystalhd. -- Regards, Andres Mejia ___ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
Re: RFS: crystalhd
Are these packages still actively maintained? I own one of the Crystal HD 70012 mini pci express cards and it's a shame that support for this incredibly useful piece of hardware is so low. ___ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
