Description Asel Luzarraga 2012-05-28 01:48:23 CEST 
wxCam exists in Linux Unity (ftp://ftp.ntua.gr/pub/linux/unity/repo/2011/x86_64/main/) as rpm, but that file can't be installed in Mageia 2 due to a dependency. It would be nice to include a Mageia 2 rpm for that program in Mageia official repositories, as it's maybe the best linux program to handle webcams.

We do not add new packages into stable release. We can do this with backports if they get enabled but even for that a package in cauldron is needed.

Ok, I hope it will be added in cauldron then =)

Enjoy!

Thank you very much!!! I can't see the way to get rpm in Cauldron tainted repository (maybe I can't find the right way to the right reopository) but anyway, nice to know that it'll be included in Mageia 3 =) Should I mark it as RESOLVED?
Comment 5 Damien Lallement 2012-07-16 00:04:16 CEST 
You're welcome. :-)
To enable "Tainted" repository, just go in "Mageia Control Center" to enable it.
It's in "Tainted" (in cauldron and so in 3), because if depends on xvid which is in this repository.
We can let it opened for now. If it's opened, I will create a backport for wxcam in Mageia 2.

Ok, that sounds nice, thanks!
Comment 7 Asel Luzarraga 2012-07-16 01:12:37 CEST
