I have plenty of other things to do and essentially have stopped doing any linux-dvb development. Some people seem to think that because I spent lots of time reviewing and discussing the API proposal, it is my duty to spend even more time on it, to review it again and finally ACK it. However, I currently (and for the foreseeable future) stopped caring about linux-dvb, and thus won't do it. > How do we get this project back on the rails? Manu had posted a large set of patches on July 25, and got zero responses, neither positive nor negative. Someone needs to review and test them etc. If no one cares to do this work it won't happen. Or maybe you can just go and ask Mauro to merge them unreviewed. It's your responsibilty, I don't care and won't NACK anything anymore.
