mjpegtools patches

Hello,

I'm a mjpegtools package maintainer in SUSE and I'm writing you =

regarding few patches that we have for mjpegtools in openSUSE and that =

would be really nice to incorporate into upstream.

Would you be please so kind and take a look at [1] where you can see all =

our patches? I went through the patch list and I was trying to find more =

information about them that would help you with deciding if this patch =

is interesting for upstream or not. Unfortunately, nearly all of them =

were added really long ago, so there is no much information about them. =

I'm attaching what I found below.

----------
Patch list
----------

- mjpegtools-2.0.0-fix-bashisms.patch
 =A0 * fix bashisms in shell scripts
 =A0 * fix shebang in lavtc.sh that contains bash-specific constructions

- mjpegtools-config_h.patch
 =A0 * add missing #include <config.h>

- mjpegtools-cpuinfo.patch
 =A0 * overwrite cpuinfo.sh, the build-host is basically random and =

optimizing for a random cpu does not help

- mjpegtools-gcc47.patch
 =A0 * Fix build with gcc 4.7.

- mjpegtools-getopt.patch
 =A0 * getopt returns int, not char align vector buffers to 16 bytes mark =

one string constant as const build parallel

- mjpegtools-more-pie.patch
 =A0 * remove some -fno-PIC calls. They do not seem to be necessary and =

break PIE builds.(The compiler would warn if the assembler would not =

build.)

- mjpegtools-no_arch_tuning.patch
 =A0 * In a distribution you don't want to compile for the CPU you happen =

to build the code on. So add an optionb to disable automatic tuning.

- mjpegtools-v4l-2.6.38.patch
 =A0 * Add mjpegtools-v4l-2.6.38.patch: use the new v4l interface

- mjpegtools-vector_alignment.patch
 =A0 * unfortunately no further information

- mjpegtools-writeable_strings.patch
 =A0 * unfortunately no further information


Thank you for looking at it and please let me know if you need any =

further information.

Best regards,
Kristyna Streitova
