Request it to Douglas. Another option is to merge it locally on your repository, convert it to git. After having it converted to git, you should create a repository there for you, with the -git procedures I've emailed to the ones with accounts there. Then, ping me and I'll move it to a better place and add permissions for the others to merge there. > >> Thoughts? > > I've one question, I think we want to do tarbal releases > from this new repo (just like I've been doing with libv4l for a while > already), and then want distro's to pick up these releases, right ? > > Are we going to do separate tarbals for the lib and utils directories, > or one combined tarbal.

I think that the better is to create one single tarball. The Makefile may have multiple makefile targets for the libraries and for utils. This would help distros to create different packages if they want to. As you're the packager on Fedora, I think you should prepare it to make your life easier on the distro side. This will probably help other distros too. -- Cheers, Mauro -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
