I suspect that nobody did it yet, since I didn't see any technical analysis of the current proposal. - I'll carefully review multiproto proposal during my trip, and compare it with the Stoth's proposal. - As I've already explained, merging today or after Plumbers won't make any practical difference. The upstream merge will only happen after 2.6.27 being released, due to the next kernel window for merging patches. This is a major change at API and claims for a carefully analysis. --snippets end--- now, lets get to the point: you told me you are going to analyse the code and compare it you told me its a important API change and must be carefully analysed you NEVER told me and all the other, that there will be a FINAL DECISION what api will be merged or when. so, even if the S2Api decision might come out as right in the future, you didn't act like a maintainer at all - for me it looks like a dictatorship. a kind and detailed information and then a vote/poll would have been a real community decision. i do understand when devs/users like oliver take their decisions to leave the project. my 2ct on a disgracing act of being a maintainer marcel > > Cheers, > Mauro. > > _______________________________________________ > linux-dvb mailing list > linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx > http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb > _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
