We will use the same policy we used earlier: as we modify code to fix bugs in drivers, we send the matching patches in the mailing list. My predecessors did so, and I already fixed a bug on KNC1 TV Station DVR; I sent my patch to Gerd Knorr (official maintainer of v4l), who commited it in latest v4l cvs snapshots. If we can contribute to the open source community, we will. I hope this answers your question. By the way, this answers Manu's question about why I use latest v4l cvs snapshots: I needed so, for the KNC1 bug I had to fix. That's the only reason. But I also think it's a good thing to test many combinations of drivers. -- CAND Frederic EPITA GISTR 2005 ANEVIA
