Will the software evolution be continued for related source files?
Are there any update candidates left over in the directory “v4l2-core”?

Sorry, I don't understand the question. We don't want to touch the
videobuf-* files unless there is a very good reason. That old videobuf
framework is deprecated and the code is quite fragile (i.e. easy to break
things).

Everything else in that directory is under continuous development.

It's core code though, so it gets a much more in-depth code review than
patches for e.g. a driver.

Regards,

	Hans

I try to explain my view again.

I hoped that my update suggestions could be good enough once more for this area.

How do you think about to move this stuff into a separate subdirectory
so that it might become a bit easier to distinguish these software components?


> Everything else in that directory is under continuous development.

I am curious if there are still update candidates left over
(also from my selection of change possibilities).

Regards,
Markus
