So, this pretty much cuts me off of the driver CVS then, doesn't it?
Will there be a "mirror CVS" that can be used to just check out
the latest version, or at least nightly snapshots of the complete
driver source?
Hi,
Its easy to get a snapshot via your browser:
http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb?cmd=summary;style=gitweb
Then click on "tree" in line 2
And on the next page click on bz2.
I just saw that on http://linuxtv.org/cvs.php it says
1. Open http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb on your favorite browser;
2. go to Tips line and click on it;
However, there is no "Tips" line on that page.
Either I'm doing something wrong or the description on
how to get a tarball should be fixed. If I do as Helmut
suggested, it works fine.
There's just one thing about the file that gets dowloaded.
It's name is hg-v4l-dvb-7b2efa772750.tar.bz2 and it expands to
a directory named hg-v4l-dvb-7b2efa772750, which is rather
cryptic. Could this be changed, so that the name looks like
this:
v4l-dvb-20060204-185051.tar.bz2
Rationale: the "hg-" prefix is superfluous, and instead of
the cryptic "7b2efa772750" it would be much more informative
to have the date and time of the last check-in.
Just my 2 ct.
Klaus
