Subject: v4l2 in 2.5.x?

What's the status on v4l2? I thought it was supposed to go in during
the 2.5 series. I seem to recall some stuff going in around 2.5.5ish,
but as I recall that was just some revamping of v41. Just curious...

Thanks,

Alex

same question from me, too. recalling, that there were ready
patches, and feature freeze is comming. i think also, that this is
one of the substantional features to go in 2.5, 'cause it's needed
for the new bttv 0.8.x driver, the one and only (of bttv), that has
further developement. or isn't enough request?

Still work-in-progress. The v4l2 API currently is reworked a bit. No
fundamental changes, but alot of small cleanups. Check the video4linux
list archives for more details.

I still plan to get v4l2 in 2.5 before the freeze deadline.
