libgphoto2 is a library that can be used by applications to access
various digital cameras.
-The resulting package checks /var/log/packages for your installed udev
-version and generates udev rules in the post-install stage. For those
-of you still using the old hotplug subsystem, it also adds the file
-/etc/hotplug/usb/usbcam during the packaging and appends some text to
-/etc/hotplug/usb.usermap in the post-install stage. This appending is
-not normally something that we would do with any of our scripts, but in
-this case, it should be completely harmless; however, a backup copy of
-the file is left in the same directory just in case.
-
-Since version 2.3.1 build 3, there are two different groups granting
-access to your digital camera for non-root users via udev and hotplug.
-
-From now on the udev rules generated during install set device ownership
-to the 'plugdev' group. If this group does not yet exist (users of HAL
-should have this group already), you will need to create it and add any
-users that may access the camera. A recommended way for adding the 'plugdev'
-group would be:
-
- /usr/sbin/groupadd -g 83 plugdev
-
-Hotplug users still have to use the group 'camera' and add any users that
-should be permitted to access the camera to this group. Alternatively,
-you can edit the included doinst.sh file to change "group plugdev" to
-"group users" (if you're using udev) or edit /etc/hotplug/usb/usbcam after
-the package is installed and change "camera" to "users" (if you're using
-hotplug) if you want all users to have access to cameras.
-
-The resulting package *should* work without any manual setup, but in our
-testing here, it seems that some cameras aren't recognized by the installed
-udev rules. There is at least one reliable report of a change that *may* be
-needed if you're using udev-097 from Slackware 11.0:
-
- This:
- BUS!="usb*", GOTO="libgphoto2_rules_end"
- should perhaps be this:
- SUBSYSTEM!="usb*", GOTO="libgphoto2_rules_end"
-
-However, if the rules installed by libgphoto2 work for you, don't change
-anything - this should only be done if they don't work. Note that this is
-*not* a bug in the build script or implementation - we just use the provided
-tools with libgphoto2 to generate the udev rules; as such, any bug reports
-with the udev rules should go to them (feel free to CC our -users list).
+The udev rules generated during install set device ownership to the
+'plugdev' group.
