This code will get periodically +updated to be compatible with nixos-unstable! + +The testing instructions from +https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/jwrdegoede/ipu6-softisp/ still apply. + +`qcam` can be found in `libcamera-qcam` (pending on +https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/284964 to trickle into master). + +Thanks to Hans de Goede for helping me bringing this up, as well as to +puckipedia for sorting out some pipewire-related confusion. |
