and also reduce attack surface against malicious USB devices.
See OUTDATED.txt in git for notes.
You can reenable them using:
./configure --with-camlibs=all,outdated
or by the camlib driver name (sample: jd11):
./configure --with-camlibs=all,jd11
To get the lists of all camera libraries use:
./configure --help
If you still have an old camera using one of these camlibs in active
use, please report this to the devteam so we can reenable it per
default.
