There aren't any big advantages on merging, nor there are big advantages on keeping them alone. Advantages to merge: - One single release control. Currently, only Hans de Goede is doing a good job with release names, on libv4l. By having everything into one place, all other v4l2-apps and dvb-apps will have a release name, making easier even for us when helping people with troubles (as we'll know for sure if they're using the latest version or a very old version; - One single tree for the user to download, for IR, DVB and V4L apps; - Distro packagers will have one single tarball to maintain. Disadvantages: - More people will need access to the same git master tree; - The tree will be bigger. -- 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
