Luckily there is already `drivers/media/usb/gspca/kinect.c` but it has some errors (like reporting invalid frame rates for color data) and design flaws that makes it impossible to stream depth and color data from a single device at the same time. I already got a new user space driver working in rust and would like to upstream it to the kernel to replace the older kinect driver written in C. >> >> Thanks for your time, >> Frederic Laing > > I did not hear anything from the media people so far. > > Mauro, Hans? Speaking only for myself, there still isn't the time available for me at least to support rust. We also need to get the multicommitter model started, which is only pending on the documentation right now. That really should have been done this year, and I really hope we can finish that early next year. We need that up and running. Basically the situation is unchanged from 2 (?) years ago: too much to do, not enough time. I don't see this changing for me for 2026. Regards, Hans
