python-fakewebcam-git appears to be a duplicate of python-pyfakewebcam-git. Deletion request pending.

python-pyfakewebcam-git needs to be updated to a new source repository.

@bphd Please fix issues with your requests.

  1. Use the actual name of the package in the title, not "packagename"
  2. Do not link to the generic license for standard named licenses.
  3. Are you actually building the packages in clean chroot or just pasting the commands into the request? If you are not actually building the packages, do not fill in that section.

Rejecting for poor maintainership. All related packages (python-fakewebcam, python-pyfakewebcam, python-pyfakewebcam-git) have unresolved issues and unresponsive maintainers.

This request can be reconsidered if python-pyfakewebcam or python-pyfakewebcam-git are fixed and updated.
