namespace rpi

Why not Fedora?
---------------
As far as I understand it, this package is too specific (rpi only) to be
eligible for inclusion into the Fedora repos. I can of course research this
more thoroughly if needed.

SPECFILE
---------

SOURCE RPM
----------

Description
-------------
Libraries, utilities and demos for the Raspberry Pi BCM283x SOC GPUs

Essentially, this library will be a needed dependency for any package in the
rpi namespace that accesses the PI's GPU. e.g. omxplayer

NOTES
-----
Credit goes to Vaughan Agrez with the FedBerry project for doing the majority
of the work with this specfile. I have modified it to better fit RPMFusion
packing standards and have removed requirements specific to FedBerry.

This package represents a snapshot from an upstream project that does not have
any releases. Hence, the unusual package name.

This package places the following symlink for compatibility:
/opt/vc -> %{_libdir}/vc

I can see why this has been created, but I'm still on the fence on this one. I
have not tested whether this is truly needed and can look into this further, if
someone thinks we should leave /opt alone.

This will be the first of multiple package requests for the rpi namespace, and
I'm looking forward to receiving feedback for this package request.
