Re: [Spca50x-devs] Spca5xx driver need to change for July :)

[Joel Crisp <jcrisp@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Obviously, I would like to keep the SPCA name as that was the original camera chip series I wrote the driver for ;-), but that would 
really deprecate some of Michel's excellent work supporting the other models of camera.

How many other webcam driver packages out there? Should we be considering a merge into or from the other drivers? As this package 
supports more and different chipsets, it makes less sense to have separate packages for other types of camera.

I also like Gerard's solution of suffix with a number, but I think that would be better done as part of the version number of the 
package.
