Hi Mauro,
I noticed that there is an ancient V4L2 spec in our tree in the v4l/API
directory. Is that spec used in any way? I don't think so, so I suggest
that it is removed.
The V4L1 spec that is there should probably be moved to the v4l2-spec
directory as that is where people would look for it. We can just keep it
there for reference.
The documentation on www.linuxtv.org is also out of date. How are we going
to update that?
I think that a good schedule would be right after a kernel merge window
closes. The spec at that moment is the spec for that new kernel and that's
a good moment to update the website.
The current spec is really old, though, and should be updated asap.
Note that the specs from the daily build are always available from
www.xs4all.nl/~hverkuil/spec. I've modified the build to upload the
dvbapi.pdf as well.
Regards,
Hans
Wouldn't it make sense to merge both apis, v4l2 and dvb together?
- dvb api is completely outdated, would be good to be rewritten anyway.
- v4l2 and dvb share the same hg
- v4l2 and dvb share the same wiki
- a lot of developers are active in both topics
- any person interested in video and tv could be directed to the same file
Just some thoughts to the topic..
