After finding an old webcam kicking about I was determined to try it out on openSUSE 10.3. Problem was I didn't know of any apps to try it with, so I tried to install Cheese from one of the repos on the OBS or Packman/Guru no joy as no-one had packaged it :-(

Not a major problem, it just meant I had to pull a finger out and do something about it myself. I had a few issues sorting out the dependencies, but jpr in #opensuse-gnome and mrdocs in #opensuse-buildservice amongst others helped to iron them out. I still need to sort out the .ymp files for the One-Click Install

So without further ado go and get it from my repo http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/FunkyPenguin/openSUSE_10.3/ Oh while I remember it might get moved into the GNOME:Community repo which is available for use by selecting the repo from the 'Community Repositories' in YaST :-D

Whilst I'm on the subject of 10.3, I've been playing around with Banter and Giver and have found a few bugs (filed my first bug against a SUSE distro). Again the folk over on #opensuse-gnome were really helpful, it kind of makes me want to help more :-)
