Last Friday I was actually poking around at the Fedora tvtime repo because I was curious how they had dealt with the V4L1 support issue (whether they were using my patch removing v4l1 or some variant). I've actually pulled in Fedora patches in the past (as you can see from the hg repo), and it has always been my intention to do it for the other distros as well (e.g. debian/Ubuntu). So I appreciate your having sent these along. I'll pull these in this week, do some testing to make sure nothing serious got broken, and work to spin a 1.0.3 toward the end of the week. Given the number of features/changes, and how long it's been since the last formal release, I was considering calling it 1.1.0 instead though. I've been thinking for a while that perhaps the project should be renamed (or I considered prepending "kl" onto the front resulting in it being called "kl-tvtime"). This isn't out of vanity but rather my concern that the fork will get confused with the original project (for example, I believe Ubuntu actually already calls their modified tree tvtime 1.0.3). I'm open to suggestions in this regards. Devin -- Devin J.
