gphoto was a specific app i was interested in using for that one project, but more generally there are a lot of apps (around 45,000) that it's be very useful to have access to. i'm not sure i have the time to send a git patch for all of them maybe it's easier to move the mountain to mohammed, and re-package shr apps for debian _______________________________________________ Shr-User mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shr-project.org/mailman/listinfo/shr-user
