I'm not sure who is maintaining it (Andrew, Marcel, Christoph, Manu), but I figured I'd provide a few suggestions that I think would help further tidy up the dvb-apps package. 1) README file, topmost directory a) Change the comment "Various testing applications also live in test" to: Some misc. testing applications: test/README - Provides an overview of the various small test/sample programs residing in the test directory b) Remove the following text given that the include files are, er, no longer included: "For convenience, dvb-apps contains a copy of the DVB API include files as they are contained in the linuxtv-dvb-1.? release and the 2.6.x Linux kernel." 2) Given the (historical and contextual) information on the zap utilities recently provided by Manu & Johannes, can the util/zap and the util/szap directories be combined into one (util/zap) ? If yes, then: a) a quick rewrite of the current util/szap/README file could elucidate the contextual and historical info Manu & Johannes just provided --- which, btw, goes an extremely along way in explaining (especially for the "newbie") why there are so many zap variations b) the README file, in the topmost directory, should have the line "util/zap - *Just* tunes a digital device - really intended for developers" slightly modified to allude to the various zap tuning utils contained within the package 3) lib/libdvbapi a) requires a README file which, at the very least, alludes to what the current version of the api is .... either that or change the directory name to indicate this (i.e. lib/libdvbapi2.0) b) the README file, in the topmost directory -- might want to do likewise in regards to api version number in the line "lib/libdvbapi - Interface library to digital TV devices." 4) util/scan vs util/dvbscan a) Like the zap utilities, this is surely another spot of confusion for most unenlightened folks. What's the story here again ? (I say again, because I know there has been some discussion (here and there) about these two, but I forget when and where and what conclusions, if any, were drawn). b) the util/scan/README file looks like it could really use an overhaul ... especially given that, despite being in the "scan" directory, it refers to "dvbscan" and "atscscan" apps c) the README file, in the topmost directory, should have some sort of reference as to what distinguishes the two (scan vs. dvbscan) d) like the question regarding the zap utils, can the scan utils not be merged into a single directory?
