In tree, there's: media-video/gspca-01.00.10. On upstream URL http://mxhaard.free.fr/download.html there's 01.00.11 at http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca50x/Download/gspcav1-20061216.tar.gz BTW: It's not possible to build 01.00.10. I'll file a new bug for this.
Created attachment 104745 [details] gspca-01.00.11.ebuild - not fully functional Shouldn't the version numbering be changed? The source download for 01.00.11 is http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca50x/Download/gspcav1-20061216.tar.gz, so wouldn't it make more sense to call this version 20061216 instead of 01.00.11? Also, as the package is called gspcav1 by upstream, wouldn't it make more sense to call the Gentoo package gspcav1 as well? Attached is a beginning of the ebuild for gspca-01.00.11. It doesn't work, though. If the package were named gspcav1, it would work just fine ;) alexander@blatt /Gentoo/Portage/local-tree/misc/media-video/gspca $ LC_ALL=C sudo emerge =gspca-01.00.11 Calculating dependencies... done! >>> Emerging (1 of 1) media-video/gspca-01.00.11 to / * gspcav1-20061216.tar.gz MD5 ;-) ...

Changing severity, as 01.00.10 doesn't work.
I guess it should be used the (now) masked media-video/gspcav1 until gspca v4l2 is not finished. The ebuild works fine just changing the date in the file as gspcav1-20061216.ebuild The problem with media-video/gspca, IMHO is that the S variable inside the ebuild must be construct by hand to match the correct source dir.

New upstream bump: http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca50x/Download/gspcav1-20070110.tar.gz
(In reply to comment #5) > New upstream bump: > http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca50x/Download/gspcav1-20070110.tar.gz > It's still called gspcav1. Could gspca please be dumped and gspcav1 be used again instead? It would make life quite a bit easier...
As noted in comment #5, version 1.00.12 is out since the 10th of January, 2007. When do we see it in tree? And how about doing away with gspca and use gspcav1 instead (reverting the wrong decision to dump gspcav1)? With gspcav1, it's extremely easy to make a version bump - as noted in comment #3, all that needs to be done is change the date in the ebuild.
(In reply to comment #6) > It's still called gspcav1. Could gspca please be dumped and gspcav1 be used > again instead? It would make life quite a bit easier... If you actually read the ebuild before commenting, you might notice that it builds v2 of the driver (gspcav2). Calling this gspcav1 is presumably a misnomer... :P
Yes, the ebuild uses v2, and yes, I did not see that. Thanks for pointing this out! What I see on http://mxhaard.free.fr/download.html though is: > until gspca v4l2 is finished, used: gspcav1 "Generic Softwares Package for Camera Adapters" version 1.00.12 date: 10/01/2007 I understand it so, that gspcav1 should be used, because v2 is not yet finished (do I misunderstand that?). And http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca50x/Download/gspcav1-20070110.tar.gz doesn't have a "v2" version. It is v1 (is it?). Now, because upstream calls the package gspcav1, it would be a misnomer to call the package gspca, as there (sometimes) also is a gspca version. Jakub, you know, you should at least check the URLs mentioned in bug before commenting... :-P As I've asked before: Why not dump gspca and keep on using gspcav1? It makes version bumping a LOT easier!
The v2 version is only available in the gspca-YYYYMMDD packages from http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca50x/Investigation/Gspca/, and is not included in the gspcav1XXXXX packages. Since the gspcav1 packages are updated far more often than are the gspca packages, I believe the gspcav1 one should be used, like Alexander Skwar suggests. I also agree with comment #9: since the developer recommends using v1 because v2 is not yet finished, I believe we should use that one
Please bump version in portage tree. Atleast include the patch for version 1.00.10. Thanks.
I made a mistake masking gspcav1. please use that instead. media-video/gspca is still alpha code.
gspca-01.00.10 works fine for me in 2.6.18 kernel. I think that gspca-01.00.12 could be bumped to portage and marked as HardMasked and, also, gscpcav1 could be in portage marked as testing. It's a suggestion :-/
