The standalone gspca code is old and deprecated. It's now maintained

The main v4l-dvb tree is here - just grab the latest tarball and build
it. Here if you don't see it:

Development work on the gspca branch appears to happen here:
http://linuxtv.org/hg/~hgoede/gspca/
before being merged into the main v4l-dvb tree.
Elrepo.org has a version built for el5 that supports many gspca based
devices:
<snip> Ok, so I got the src rpm from el repo. Lessee, first I tried rpmbuild, and that failed, because it *required* xen-devel. So I grabbed the tarfile from /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES, unbzip2'd it, untar'd it, and did a make. And ten or so later, I had 265 kernel modules. I don't want or need to install all of that, so I tried just building gspca, and that failed with unresolved errors.
Does anyone know if I can just install gspca*.ko, or even some subgroup of that, or is it dependent on other of the built modules?
Two other notes: on an FC 13 box, I see that gspca literally comes with the kernel - does anyone have a clue whether part of that subsystem is available, or is that what I'm looking at, above?
Finally, in googling, I found a UVC that's supposed to deal with most USB cameras. Does anyone know anything about it, or will I still need gspca?
