Unverified, but saw a report on the forums: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-463627.html The current stable version (10.0.7) does not compile with 2.6.16, but the testing version (10.0.12_rc1) does. 2.6.16 is in the stable tree. Please either mark a newer version stable, or backport the owner field removal fix to the stable version. If you choose the 2nd option and you'd like help producing the patch, add kernel@gentoo.org to CC and ask nicely :)

If I got http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/handbook/handbook.xml?part=2&chap=5#doc_chap3 right, this is the job of the arch teams, isn't it?. CC'ing them.
If you look with some more detail there's no stable for sparc, they're just ~sparc.
No - it's not a job of the arch teams, because it relies on you making the prior decision "am I going to backport the fix or should I get another version marked stable?" I'm assuming you chose the 2nd option. Yes, keywording stable is the job of the arch teams, but only after the maintainer has stated so. If 2.6.X comes out and your stable ebuild does not work with that kernel, it is up to you to get the arch teams into action so that there is no breakage in the stable tree. You must also specify which version you want marked stable. Right now it's not clear whether you are asking for the latest version to be marked stable (which is an experimental -rc release) or if you are asking for 10.0.11 to go stable (it isn't clear from this bug whether the bug is fixed there or not).

I would prefer to see the -rc marked stable. It's been out for almost (but a few days) a month now, didn't have any bug reports yet while 10.0.11 has known problems (bug #124512). The changelog talks about lots of bugfixes. Sorry again and thanks for the clarifications.
stable on ppc64
Since there is no currently stable ppc version and none of the ppc devs have this hardware, I'd like to skip marking it stable for now. If a ppc user would like to have it marked stable and can test, please re-add us to the bug.
phosphan, can you test this on x86? None of us seem to have the hardware. Thanks
(In reply to comment #8) > phosphan, can you test this on x86? None of us seem to have the hardware. I don't have physical access to the box (any more) to which the camera is usually connected. It currently seems to be not plugged in and I asked to put it back for testing with the current stable kernel. Didn't happen yet, though. Please be patient.

I still plan to test this shortly, ive got a USB camera using this hardware with an x86 and ppc at home, and an amd64 at work if it really comes to it. Patience though :) lots of things on my list atm, plus ive almost got my ppc 100% with linux-headers-2.6.16 atm. my x86 box is almost done with some sane CFLAGS then ill be testing.
compiles fine on amd64, assuming it works too. don't think anybody has the hardware to test this, but we never got any bugs AFAICR :)
seems to build fine on x86, havent got any apps to test it decently, but it definitely compiled...will be testing on ppc shortly...

I've tested this on stable x86, it works equally like it works on Windows (TM) with xawtv. Also compiles and installs cleanly. Camera I've used is Logitech 3000 which uses this driver.

The camera just got plugged in again, seems to work fine. x86 team, please mark this as stable (haven't read any grave complaints on the pwc mailing list, either...) and close this bug.
x86 done, thank you drac for the help
