ZBar reads bar codes from sources such as video streams,

It supports many popular types of bar code symbologies including

Interleaved 2 of 5, GS1 DataBar (RSS-14), QR Code, and SQ Code.

I have successfully rebuilt the package locally with some patch
adjustments for changes incorporated and new patches for config changes,
some new and changed b-r packages, and pushed to playground:
Thanks very much for looking at this!
You have NMU privileges, so you don't need to adopt this if you're just doing a
"drive-by update".
I want to adopt as I use zbar and zint when decoding and encoding bar codes for
my own interest, as when we all had to carry and show QR-encoded vaccination
"passports" for scanning to get access to some "public" spaces and events.
[Despite this I had been blocked from entering a restaurant where I was to meet
friends for a meal, because I only had my *legal* "temporary" driver's licence,
while waiting to receive its scheduled replacement, and multiple other legal
forms of id, so was interested to ensure that would never recur!
We all left for somewhere better, and the place eventually went bust! ;^>]
If you're touching this, can you also do what I should have done and make a
versioned python package e.g. python39-zbar, which is required by a virtual
python-zbar package (as per the example in
https://cygwin.com/packaging/cygport_tips.html).
Thanks for pointing out that tip and the example to follow - I will do that
here, and also elsewhere when python bits are involved.
I was more focussed on getting this done for the perl update!

There are the same 3 missing and 3 spurious code matches out of 100,000
tests locally and under scallywag.
Previous version also has:
[28417] SEED=-1466011001: warning: expecting DataBar, got spurious EAN-2
[35442] SEED=-591992353: missing decode: CODE-39 (YP%CC-.)
[64558] SEED=1906143625: missing decode: CODE-128 (41714534408557)
[79042] SEED=-1776449378: missing decode: CODE-39 (Z5EKHI5I6)
[84522] SEED=-966054662: warning: expecting DataBar, got spurious EAN-2
[98350] SEED=1992973531: warning: expecting DataBar, got spurious EAN-2
decoder PASSED with 3 spurious (0.0030%) and 3 missing(0.0030%).
So I think this is the expected result?
Nice that there are undocumented possible XFAILs, unless this is some Cygwin
glitch, but unlikely with the other ~100k tests succeeding?
