= Change raspberrypi-vc Package to Build from Source =
<!-- Replace "Project Name" with the actual name of the project in the line above. -->
== Project Description ==
<!-- Description should be no longer than a paragraph. Include links to any relevant on-line resources. For example, [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki] or [http://developer.mozilla.org MDC]. -->
Originally, the VideoCore IV GPU on the Pi was used with proprietary libraries which were only available in compiled form, so the raspberrypi-vc package was originally set up to package prebuilt binaries and not build from source. The source code for these libraries is now available, and the raspberrypi-vc package should be changed to build from source (this will help with SELinux compatibility).
== Project Leader ==
<!-- Name(s) of primary person working on the project.
If there is more than one person working on related projects, they must have separate project pages, and the project title and description should identify who is doing what. For example:
Include links to personal pages within wiki and to blog sites. -->
== Project Contributor(s) ==
<!-- Name(s) of people casually working on the project, or who have contributed significant help. Include links to personal pages within wiki. Adding the names of your contributors here is a nice way to thank them.
NOTE: only the Project Leader should add names here. You should not add your own name to the Contributor list. -->
== Project Details ==
<!-- Provides more depth than the Project Description. This is the place for technical discussions, project specs, or other details. If this gets very long, you might consider breaking this part into multiple pages and linking to them. -->
== Project Plan ==
=== Tracking ===
<!-- Describe the tracking mechanisms you are using for your project (bugzilla, trac, github, ...) -->
=== Key contacts ===
<!-- Add links to any mentors or key participants in the community. -->
=== Goals by Release ===
Goals for each release and plans for reaching those goals:
<!-- Note: Each student must have unique goals. These goals may be ''related'' to other students' work, but must be ''distinct'' and ''attainable'' regardless of the state of the other students' work. For example, under the umbrella of one project title, one student may work on packaging a piece of software and another may work on documentation, or one may work on solving one bug and another on solving another bug, but two students must not work on the same bug or depend on the other students' work in order to be able to complete their own project. -->
