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. FAS account name: kni SPECFILE --------- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/knight-of-ni/specfiles/master/raspberrypi-vc.spec SOURCE RPM ---------- http://koji.rpmfusion.org/kojifiles/work/tasks/3940/273940/raspberrypi-vc-0-1.20181108gitde4a7f2.fc29rpi.src.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.
