Hi Mauro,
Since the creation of linux-media@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I'm seeing lots of
cross-postings between linux-dvb, linux-media and video4linux. This
is a little bit annoying if you are subscribed to all of those lists.
Worse is, that some people only send requests to linux-media. Like
that linux-dvb-only subscribers can't help...
Why not closing linux-dvb (and video4linux) and transferring the
currently subscribed users to linux-media automatically?
I agree with Patrick. I suggest a daily automatic posting to linux-dvb
and video4linux telling people that on February 1st these lists
disappear and that they should use linux-media instead. Then they can
be closed down at the end of the month. I definitely wouldn't wait any
longer since it is rather messy right now. One month transition period
seems reasonable to me.
Amen to that. I've been telling people to go over to linux-media, but
old habits are hard to break. It's time to actually make a clean break
from the old lists.
+1 from me
Although I'm not an active developer (I'm just an interested user),
reading the lists at the moment is hard...
Instead of just removing the ML, maybe the better is to change the reply to to
linux-media and send an autoreply message to the sender.
Lars.
Cheers,
Mauro
Reasons I'd like to keep both lists going:
1. My subscription requests to linux-media have yielded nothing. Anything broken with the approval process?
2. I agree with another poster: I only care about broadcast and cable video, both analog and digital. I eventually hope to help get my "AnyTV AUTV002 USB ATSC/QAM Tuner Stick" supported by V4L, and then use it in a MythTV system. I'd prefer a list that focuses on such devices and systems, if possible. Which seems to match the mission of linux-dvb!
The general issue of multi-posting seems typical of list forking/merging/moving, and should settle down as the intent of each of the lists in the group of lists becomes better established in practice.
