Hi Aurelien,

Now that libv4l is mandatory in Debian for v4l and v4l2 applications, a
lot of maintainers have to convert the upstream sources to use libv4l.

Unfortunately it does not come with any documentation, which makes this
work more difficult, even if the use of this library is eventually very
simple. Adding the upstream README into the libv4l-dev package would
already be a huge improvement.

The README and TODO files are part of the libv4l-0 package. The other three packages doc dirs should be linked to the libv4l-0 one.

There is a Wiki page at LinuxTV contains some patches for popular applications:

I've suggested upstream to add the VLC ones as porting examples:

https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/1804

Depending on upstreams reaction I'll upload the next release (which seems to be in preparation right now) or add the documentation to the Debian package.

Thanks,
Gregor
