-Note for users of the ColorVision Spyder2:
-------------------------------------------
-
-The Spyder2 device doesn't work "out of the box" because it needs
-firmware to be loaded into it. That firmware is proprietary and
-cannot be distributed within Debian, but Argyll provides a tool to
-extract that firmware from the driver CD provided with the device.
-
-If you're only using your Spyder2 on one computer, then all you need
-to do is run the "spyd2en -S l" utility (as root) while the driver CD
-is mounted. spyd2en looks for the CD in a few typical mount points
-(/media/ColorVision, /mnt/cdrom, /media/cdrom, /cdrom). If your CD is
-mounted somewhere else, just add the location of the "setup.exe" file,
-for instance "spyd2en -S l /mnt/tmp/setup/setup.exe". In both cases,
-the firmware will be extracted and stored into
-/usr/share/color/spyd2PLD.bin, where the other utilities will be able
-to look for it when needed. You're done!
-
-If you use the Spyder2 on several computers, and don't want to carry
-the CD and perform the same operation on all, you might like to
-generate a Debian package containing the firmware on one computer, and
-install that package on the others. A source package is provided in
-/usr/share/doc/argyll/examples/spyder2.tar.gz. Here's the procedure
-for the first computer:
-
-- first, extract the firmware with spyd2en (as above);
-- then, apt-get install debhelper fakeroot build-essential;
-- uncompress the spyder2.tar.gz archive somewhere;
- you'll get a argyll-firmware-spyder2 directory;
-- in that directory, run "fakeroot debian/rules binary clean";
-- you should get a .deb in the parent directory.
-
-You can then copy that .deb file to other computers and install it
-with "dpkg -i argyll-firmware-spyder2_1.1_all.deb". You're done!
