Yes, I concur that plopping the udev rules into /usr/doc/... might be best now that INDI is in Slackware-Current. While libindi has a bunch of driver and undev rules included, I will still be maintaining the additional 3rd party drivers and libraries. I might need to do something similar. libindi-drivers libindi-libraries Looking at firecapture, there may be some camera library conflicts (ZWO ASI for example), so you may need to reference and itemize in your README. https://drivers.indilib.org/cameras/ I was not aware of firecapture. Looks nifty. -Ed _______________________________________________ SlackBuilds-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.slackbuilds.org/mailman/listinfo/slackbuilds-users Archives - https://lists.slackbuilds.org/pipermail/slackbuilds-users/ FAQ - https://slackbuilds.org/faq/
