Hi all,

Currently v4l-utils is at version 0.7.91, which as the version suggests is meant as a beta release.

As this release seems to be working well I would like to do a v4l-utils-0.8.0 release soon. This is a headsup, to give people a chance to notify me of any bugs they would like to see fixed first / any patches they would like to add first.

Regards,

Hans

This is a good opportunity to mention that I would like to run checkpatch over the libs and clean them up.

I also know that there is a bug in the control handling code w.r.t. V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL. I have a patch, but I'd like to do the clean up first.

If no one else has major patch series that they need to apply, then I can start working on this. The clean up is just purely whitespace changes to improve readability, no functionality will be touched.

Regards,

Hans

I've no big changes planned on the short term, so from my pov go ahead.

I have one question regarding this utils:

Is it meant to be platform agnostic v4l2 utilities?

I tried once to compile it for a ARM based CPU (OMAP3 to be specific) from my x86 using a Codesourcery cross compilation toolchain, but it required some changes, which I haven't done still...

Anyways, before proposing patches for this, I just wanted to know how much priority you're giving to multi-platform support.

Sergio

The major usage of v4l-utils is on x86 and x86_64 archs. I don't see why not adding there a logic that will also work with ARM and other architectures, providing, of course, that they won't break compilation on x86/x86_64 ;) Eventually, maybe the qt tools (currently, qv4l2) may need a specific versions for those architectures, as they may need different graphics layouts, in order to better work on cellular phones and other devices that have smaller screens.

Cheers,
Mauro

As you noticed I have cleaned up the includes, libv4l1 and libv4l2. libv4lconvert is a lot more work, so I will do that bit by bit, hopefully this week.

I just finished doing the checkpatch conversions (phew!). This weekend I will push the control bug fix and I also have a v4l2-ctl enhancement pending that I will try to upstream today.

I've finished with my changes, so as far as I am concerned you can prepare a new release.
