librealsense2

Summary

A new version of librealsense has been released, which does not support older camera versions. Bump librealsense to the new release and add the old library as librealsense1.

Owner

Current status

Detailed Description

The upstream librealsense2 release does not support older camera models such as F200, R200, LR200 and ZR300. Newer models are only supported by the new version. Thus, we need both libraries in order to support all camera models. The librealsense package will be bumped to the new release, and an additional librealsense1 package will be submitted for review.

Currently, no package depends on librealsense:

 $ dnf repoquery --releasever=rawhide --alldeps --whatrequires 'librealsense*'
