Hello, Here is an ebuild for gst-plugins-v4l2, which is part of the gst-plugins-bad package since gstreamer-0.10. This ebuild is a simple copy of gst-plugins-musepack-0.10.3. Tested with my camera, works fine.
Created attachment 92621 [details] gst-plugins-v4l2-0.10.3.ebuild I did not set the dependencies, and I don't know if there is any dependencies...

This plugin as in 0.10.3 is not ready for portage yet. I try not add plugins from the -bad release, it has however been improved in CVS and is moving to gst-plugins-good before 0.10.4.
I need this plugin to get my camera working (Macbook iSight), and it works, maybe not perfectly (I didn't see anything wrong), but it works. Note this plugin is already integrated in ubuntu : http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?searchmode=filelist&word=gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad&version=dapper&arch=i386 I saw on mactel-linux mailing lists many success reports of people using other distributions, without having to do anything special to get this plugin installed, while I had to create an ebuild... As far as I remember, it's the first time I see Gentoo being more conservative than Ubuntu (and that's why I like Gentoo: because ebuilds are released just a few days after the source packages). So I think this package should be integrated in portage, maybe with a "-*" flag or a package.mask if you think it is so unstable. Anyway, that's just my point of view .-)
I have an iSight on my macbook too and i also need gst-plugins-v4l2 for that. You are free to keep the v4l2 ebuild in your overlay, like I have one in mine until the next release of gst-plugins-good upon which I will add it to portage. Just because it works in one particular use case does not mean it is any good. I don't buy your conservative argument. There are many things in Ubuntu that are a lot less conservative than what we have in Gentoo. Overlays are there, so you can play with unstable ebuilds yourself without them affecting the hordes of users that use Portage.
Ok thanks for your answer, I'll keep it in my local overlay. Anyway, if someone needs it, the ebuild is here...
