Description Jason 2010-04-02 20:09:00 UTC

Description of problem:
isight-firmware-tools is not available in Fedora 13. This package is necessary to get the webcam on some Macbooks (i.e. MacBook2,1) working.

See more about the process that is required here:
http://www.cenolan.com/2009/06/installing-fedora-11-on-a-macbook/#toc-isight-camera

Additional info:
Installing isight-firmware-tools-1.0.2-4.fc12.x86_64.rpm is a temporary workaround.

I also found this, suggesting the package might be orphaned:
http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2010-January/129655.html

If this is the case I am more than capable of building packages and can probably maintain the package and update it to kill this and the other bugs listed against the package for Fedora 12.

Please see the process at:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/Join

for how to sign up to maintain the package. (If you're already a Fedora packager, the process is simpler.)

rpmlint says something:
$ rpmlint -v isight-firmware-tools.spec 
isight-firmware-tools.spec:40: W: macro-in-comment %doc
isight-firmware-tools.spec: I: checking-url http://bersace03.free.fr/ift/isight-firmware-tools-1.5.90.tar.gz (timeout 10 seconds)
isight-firmware-tools.spec: W: invalid-url Source0: http://bersace03.free.fr/ift/isight-firmware-tools-1.5.90.tar.gz HTTP Error 404: Not Found
0 packages and 1 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 2 warnings.

- macro-in-comment: you can fix this by removing the % in line 40.

- invalid-url: The source URL does not exist, you will have to give a correct url. (http://launchpad.net/isight-firmware-tools/main/1.6/+download/%{name}-%{version}.tar.gz maybe?)

- To sanitize the specfile, it woul dbe nice to replace $RPM_BUILD_ROOT with %{buildroot}, so you use the %{...} all the time.

- You need to add a builddep on intltool

- Currently th isight udev rule is included with the following line:
%config(noreplace) %{_sysconfdir}/udev/rules.d/isight.rules
so existing udev rules will not be overwritten. I wonder why that is ...
In my case (F13/Rawhide) the isight rule does not match the current udev syntax, so a warning is generated ...:
SYSFS{}= will be removed in a future udev version, please use ATTR{}= to match the event device, or ATTRS{}= to match a parent device, in /etc/udev/rules.d/isight.rules:1
This should also be addressed.

After at least adding the builddep, the package builds fine in koji.
