I think it is nuts to keep that one around since the qt4 version is much, much better and the qt3 version is no longer maintained anyway. xc3028-firmware, v4l2-compliance and rds should also be moved to contrib. I'm not sure about decode_tm6000, keytable and v4l2-sysfs-path. These too may belong to contrib. We definitely want to have alevtv here as well (it's currently in dvb-apps). > If you are doing distribution packaging of libv4l, note that the > good old libv4l tarbal releases are going away, libv4l will now > be released as part of v4l-utils, and you are encouraged to > package that up completely including the included utilities.
