Guys, it's GPL code. Fork the project and stop your bitching.
If you do a better job, people will use and contribute to your version.
If you do a worse job, people will use and contribute to Manu's.
Some will use and contribute to both. Life's good, eh?
This is exactly why Linux is shit.
You have 100s of "forked projects" because some guy named Uwe thought
he could do better than some guy named Manu and now you have two
projects to contribute to, both suck in various ways, of course some
idiot is going to be "backporting" from one to another, introducing
weird bugs, etc etc etc.
Make a fucking decision and stick with it. Stop wasting everyone's
time. It's no secret that current Linux-DVB/V4L/whatever system is a
pile of steaming feces. Every one of you admitted to it on this list
at some point in the past. So get to it, make a fucking decision,
"fire" (loool) retards who are slowing the project down, and get shit
moving. I vote for Uwe as Linux-DVB maintainer.

I nominate Timecop to be maintainer/top cop to figure out which version
sucks in which area
and do his best to get the best approach used. Sometimes a good strong
and outspoken
manager is more important than technical prowess (and I have no idea as
to your technical
abilities, just saying it looks like a management issue).
For Uwe, it's not that I don't "want" to understand anything - I just
showed up 2 days ago and
simply want a workable driver for my machine, and instead had to switch
cards to something
else. Usually I assume if the code was forked the fork would be
somewhere else and you wouldn't
be complaining to this list, but I understand there are different ways.
(Samba did it this way for
quite some time).
