I appreciate that someone is starting to look at DVB-S2. But binary compatibility is mandatory. RPMs, etc. would crash with no obvious reason. Also if enhancing the DVB-API, I would like to see something like a GET_VERSION (returning a major/minor version of the API - e.g. DVB-S2 is supported bgeinning from v3.2). This would make it easier for applications to check there API environment. rasc Marcel Siegert schrieb: > hi, > > as dvb-s2 will come along shortly we should be prepared. > > this is a first patch within a series that will appear to support > dvb-s2 within the different apis. > > it just adds the new fec modes and the dvb-s2 rollflag enums. > > enumeration value from the fe_caps definition and adjusted all values. > applications must be recompiled. this is imho fine. > if we want to keep binary compatibility we can not ask the frontend if it is capable of the > new modes - thus support would be impossible then. >
