In order tell Mauro to pull the API changes, one ideally should prepare a tree which doesn not just contain the frontend.h change, but also the consequential changes to dvb-core and drivers (if any), and at least one working driver which uses the new API features. Otherwise it cannot be tested. I guess Manu worked in this direction, which explains why there were so many patches. I have no idea if the work he did was going in the right direction, I haven't looked at it. I avoid using IRC (big time killer for me), and I think many others avoid it, too. linux-dvb currently has 1846 subscribers. How many hang out in IRC or read the IRC logs? If you don't post to the list the majority of people will never find out what's going on. > I tried to help with the new front-end API, but it was a work dynamic that > I don't wish to be part of.
