Manu, please move to v4l-dvb cvs. Having you sticking with dvb-kernel (write access currently disabled) is just as bad as telling users to wait for mainline to start testing. (well, not quite) ... Please move to v4l-dvb cvs. There are some features that are missing from dvb-kernel, mainly because nobody has asked us to import them yet. If you notice something from dvb-kernel that you liked is missing, then just say the word and we'll move it in. > >What I don't really like : in the README.patches there's a mention about > >http://linuxtv.org/downloads/snapshot which don't exist ???

Yes. Mauro decided to put the upstream patches at a fixed location, so that anyone can review and test them. > > >So I have still the makelinks in the rootdir ? It's still there, but in a different form....... Instead, try: make kernel-links ...this is nice and convenient and all, but IMHO it is still much safer to do: make && make install ...but I have imported the 'makelinks' script as the 'make kernel-links' command, to allow users the option. > Regarding V4L-DVB i haven't taken a look at it, so not much of an idea ATM. Anything else? What else from dvb-kernel do you like and miss and want imported into v4l-dvb cvs? Hopefully this will cover it for now. -Mike P.S. To anyone trying to email my linuxtv.org or m1k.net account, my m1k.net ISP is having troubles at the moment (linuxtv.org is just a fwd), and my emails are bouncing back. Email me here to get my attention, for now.
