libv4l package updated to 0.5.5 11/20/08. Copying the 0.5.3 ebuild worked. Changelog as follows: libv4l-0.5.5 ------------ * Avoid the use of try_fmt as much as possible on UVC cams, instead use the results of the enum_framesizes ioctl. This is because: 1) try_fmt actually causes IO with UVC cams making apps which do lot of querrying of device capabilities slow (cheese) 2) some buggy cams don't like getting lots of UVC video probes and crash when they do libv4l-0.5.4 ------------ * Don't report DQBUF errors when errno is EAGAIN, this fixes flooding the screen with errors when applications use non blocking mode * Add support for downscaling to make apps which want low resolutions (skype, spcaview) happy when used with cams which can only do high resolutions (by Lukáš Karas <lukas.karas@centrum.cz>). * Add support for converting to YV12 planar (next to the already supported YU12 / I420) * Implement RGB/BGR24 -> YU/YV12 conversion Reproducible: Always
Until the version in portage is bumped, you can just rename the 0.5.3 ebuild to libv4l-0.5.5.ebuild; no changes required.
bumped, thanks
