site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: darwin-kernel@lists.apple.com I can't see it taking too long for Apple to release an update as even the Apple supported firewire cameras will likely move to UDF 2.0, so I will wait. But ... what is stopping someone from porting drivers from other OSes and adding them in as "binary" drivers? Has this been tried? This method would remove much of the worry about licences and provide support for a lot of devices. On Wed, 2004-12-29 at 16:57, John Davidorff Pell wrote:
In order to "have at it" you would need to write entirely new drivers. The apple versions are binary-only, just like they told you on the OpenDarwin list. :-)

P.S. I would bet that a future release of Mac OS X will have support for UDF 2, so your wait shouldn't be too long. On 29 Dec 2004, at 07:39, Daryl Warkentin wrote:
First the quick. Will support for version 2.0 of the UDF file system be added soon? If not, can it be worked on by outsiders (i.e. me)? I understand the UDF source code has not been released.
Now the long. I am trying to mount my new video camera as a USB mass storage device. The camera is detected and assigned /dev/disk1, but can not be mounted, automatically, or manually. mount_udf's man page tells me version 1.5 is supported but 2.0 is not. Linux 2.6 mounts the camera just fine, which I am assuming is due to the fact that it supports UDF 2.0. If there are no immediate plans to add support for 2.0 I would be willing to have at it.
Thanks in advance.
