sure, why not.



so should i just move the git repository from collab-maint into 
pkg-multimedia?


Yes, please do.

...and then please do remind me again and again until I get around to 
check your packaging :-)


This week I am in Budapest, busy with a theater project involving sms, 
where it is unlikely that I find time in-between for Debian work...

cool.


btw, i have a gstreamer element "gst-v4l2loopback" to interface with 
the loopback module in my packaging pipeline as well.


Excellent.

Perhaps - if you are in for the ride - do that packaging in the 
gstreamer team, as they are more narrowly focused on specifics on that.


Ok?

i did not have the impression that reinhard wanted to say this (but of
course he could speak for himself).

anyhow, here is the relevant log:

Don Aug 26 2010
17:35 < zmoelnig> is the pkg-multimedia-team only packaging user-space
things, or is it fine to package kernel modules as well?
17:36 < zmoelnig> i mean packaging something like vloopback-source via
pkg-multimedia-team
17:39 < siretart> zmoelnig: if you find a 2nd developer that advocates
that package, sure, why not?
17:40 < siretart> zmoelnig: I'd reckon that none of the existing team
members has experience with packaging kernel modules, so having a backup
person that can work on the package would be really great
17:41 < siretart> zmoelnig: but what you can do in any case is to
maintain the package in the collab-maint git repo and ask for sponsoring
on the pkg-multimedia list. I think that would be an acceptable compromise


so assuming that jonas is the "2nd developer", i guess we could just do
it in pkg-multimedia.
since i did not have a second one a few hours ago, i went for the
collab-maint route.

but of course, if we do it in a team, that's all the better.

v4l2loopback is a module, that allows you to create "virtual video 
devices". normal (v4l2-capable) applications will read these devices as 
if they were ordinary video devices, but the video will not be read

application.


Yeah!  I need this very functionality.  Awesome!



my original idea was to maintain this kernel-module in the
pkg-multimedia collective.
however, on IRC reinhard told me, that it would probably be a better 
idea to keep it out of pkg-multimedia.

Therefore i used collab-maint for the git repository:
http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/v4l2loopback.git;a=summary

I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.
(and/or even better, become a permanent sponsor)


I don't do sponsorship.  How about teaming up instead?

@Reinhard: Why do you feel this is unsuitable for the Multimedia team?



@jonas: yes it uses cdbs :-) however, i would have loved it if cdbs had
more support for kernel-modules; there seems to be a project by frederic
briere to add this (http://git.fbriere.net/cdbs-kernel-module.git/) but
apparantly it's still not in upstream...


...and I would love to improve CDBS in this exact area - just needed a 
good candidate package to gain knowledge in this area. :-)
