Package: webcam Version: 3.95.dfsg.1-8.1 Severity: important the manual page for webcam does not give much information on how to write a correct webcamrc file. there are pages on the web that state "do not use the option "input = composite1" as given in the man pages". I think it would be best to correct the man page so readers know they can trust them.
I miss some note about the meaning of '-1' for bottom and right. there is no hint on how to choose the correct input or norm. (on 'input', http://www.seismo.ethz.ch/linux/webcam.html hints at using =v4lctl list= to view a list of possibilities) error messages are not documented. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Kernel: Linux 2.6.29-2-powerpc Locale: LANG=en_DK.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_DK.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages webcam depends on: ii libc6 2.9-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libjpeg62 6b-14 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii xawtv-plugins 3.95.dfsg.1-8.1 television viewer - plugins Versions of packages webcam recommends: ii ftp-ssl [ftp] 0.17.18+0.2-2 The FTP client with SSL or TLS enc ii ssh 1:5.1p1-5 secure shell client and server (me webcam suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
