Just a thought about some possible "consolidation / elimination of fragmentation / consistency " meant to benefit the end user. How about adding to the get_dvb_firmware script ( http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/file/tip/linux/Documentation/dvb/get_dvb_firmware ) a section for: a) XC5000 firmware - add a download of the firmware ... "wget http://www.steventoth.net/linux/xc5000/HVR-12x0-14x0-17x0_1_25_25271_WHQL.zip"; - and actually add/merge Steve's forty_some_line XC5000 firmware extraction script, "extract.sh" ( presently found here: http://www.steventoth.net/linux/xc5000/ ) b) XC2028/3208 firmware - add a download of the firmware ... "wget http://www.steventoth.net/linux/xc5000/HVR-12x0-14x0-17x0_1_25_25271_WHQL.zip"; - then add a call to Mauro's XC2028/3208 extraction script, "extract_xc3028.pl" (found here: http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/file/tip/linux/Documentation/video4linux/extract_xc3028.pl ) for the actual extraction ... all seamless, and behind the scenes). That way, DVB users would only need know/worry about the one script --> get_dvb_firmware i.e.: # path/get_dvb_firmware xc5000 # path/get_dvb_firmware xc3028 Any licensing/distribution point of restriction I'm overlooking? Nothing mentioned on stoth's site to suggest otherwise. _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
