Comment 1 Jay Fenlason 2008-04-02 18:41:52 UTC

It is too late for this to make 5.2.  I'm moving it to 5.3.  I have begun
acquiring hardware to do development with.

Comment 2 Charlie Wyse 2008-04-04 18:02:30 UTC

Just wanted to point out.  With the uvcvideo drivers I can get them to make and
install under 5.1 kernel.  But in the beta 5.2 kernel I get the following error.

cwyse@buffalo [:~/Desktop/uvcvideo-r104/trunk] % make

This could just be because 5.2 is still beta and this needs to be addressed, I'm
trying to work with the uvcvideo team to figure that one out.  Or there could
just be a newer version of uvcvideo.  I currently can not svn the new trunk from
work as svn is blocked here.  Just a heads up on what I have seen so far.

Comment 3 Jay Fenlason 2008-04-04 18:09:52 UTC

The ucvideo drivers have #ifs that depend on the kernel version, and don't 
take into account functionality Red Hat has backported into our RHEL-5 kernel 
(which still claims to be 2.6.18.  After I amended the obvious #if in 
uvc_compat.h it compiled without error.  Unfortunately, I can't test it until 
I get hardware.
