+== Libcamera support ==
+
+GNOME Snapshot (a replacement for Cheese) needs a functional pipewire daemon (i. e. requiring wireplumber) built with libcamera.
+
+libcamera dependencies are listed at https://libcamera.org/getting-started.html.
+Everything required all recommended is in BLFS, except a Python module named ply.
+
+Install ply (https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/source/p/ply/ply-3.11.tar.gz):
+
+{{{
+pip3 wheel -w dist --no-build-isolation --no-deps --no-cache-dir $PWD
+sudo pip3 install --no-index --find-links=dist --no-cache-dir --no-user ply
+}}}
+
+There is no website for libcamera release tarballs.  Clone the git repository and checkout the latest release tag:
+
+{{{
+git clone https://git.libcamera.org/libcamera/libcamera.git
+git checkout v0.1.0
+}}}
+
+Now install it:
+
+{{{
+mkdir build
+cd build
+meson setup --prefix=/usr --buildtype=release --wrap-mode=nodownload -Dwerror=false
+ninja
+sudo ninja install
+}}}
+
+Then (re)build pipewire and libcamera should be automatically detected and enabled.
