Droidcam and network-manager-applet compiled in Easy Excalibur

August 06, 2025 — BarryK

The 'droidcam' and 'network-manager-applet' packages are from Easy Scarthgap.
droidcam because it doesn't exist in the debian repos.
network-manager-applet because it is patched -- it has icons in the tray that show data flow in or out, and can be triggered externally.

I have compiled droidcam in easy excalibur, so it should now be working.

ETP informed me that the utility 'nm-connection-editor' which is part of network-manager-applet, doesn't work, a library mismatch problem.
So I have also compiled the patched network-manager-applet in easy excalibur.

Note, I posted about the patches in 2019:

The patches in OpenEmbedded Scarthgap:

So, both problems should be fixed.
