The idea of merging the mailing lists is running around for some time. It took some time for me to have time to address this issue, but it finally happened. We've just created it as: linux-media@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx The idea is to replace the v4l-dvb-maintainer mailing list by linux-media@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, being the main point for both V4L and DVB development. One of the advantages is that vger anti-spam filters are very efficient, and we can have the mailing list opened to bug reports from non-subscribers without the risk of receiving lots of trash. Also, almost all other kernel development mailing lists are there. We'll probably integrate the mailing list soon with the newly-created patchwork.kernel.org. Patchwork is a tool that allows the developers to do a better job of handling patches without the risk of having patches lost somewhere. I'll later put an announcement after having the tool integrated with linux-media@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For now, I kindly want to invite you all, and specially the developers to subscribe linux-media@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To subscribe, just send an email to: majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx With the body containing: subscribe linux-media Cheers, Mauro _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
