Resending due to no response since 12th Jan: Hello Mauro, The Tvheadend project bundles dtv-scan-tables in our deb/rpm packages. We have our own repo for them; an unmaintained fork of someone else’s unmaintained fork of the upstream linuxtv repo https://git.linuxtv.org/dtv-scan-tables.git. To improve things for everyone we are planning to retool around the linuxtv.org repo and would like to sync/upstream the differences to you. The current diff can be seen here: https://github.com/chewitt/dtv-scan-tables/compare/master...tvheadend The main challenges are, a) scrappy descriptions, b) contributor real-names and email are missing from most of them, c) multiple contributors to the same files over time. I was thinking to send a series with one patch for each country-code to reduce the number of patches to review, with links to original pull-requests in patch descriptions to provide attribution to original changes, and any other info like URLs added to files as comments if the links still work. Moving forwards we plan to add a PR template to our GitHub repo that encourages patches to be sent directly to the linux-media list; or for contributors to provide us with real-name/email for attribution so we can upstream patches on their behalf, or remain anonymous but give permission for patches to be sent under Tvheadend attribution (likely as myself). Would my per-country-code patch suggestion work for you? or how would you like us to handle the changes? Regards, Christian chewitt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx NB: The pending patch from Simon Liddicott [0] reduces the diff. Could that be merged soon?
