Hello everyone,
Since my repository isn't under the linuxtv.org banner, I'm not
sure how to create an actual patch or pull request for the code.
It needs some cleanup work, but essentially the code works (for
the ATSC portion, but possibly not the QAM portion).
The repository is located at
https://github.com/patrickdickey52761/PCTV80e
so I'd imagine that either git clone
git://github.com/patrickdickey52761/PCTV80e or git remote add
git://github.com/patrickdickey52761/PCTV80e will pull the code in
for you (it's a public repository).
If this doesn't work, I'm asking for assistance in getting the
code into a repository that can be pulled in (or assistance in
how to prepare a patch/pull request from my current repository).
If this does work, then I'm asking for assistance in cleanup of
the code--and specifics on what I need to do to clean up the code
(breaking lines up into fewer than 80 columns, whitespace, etc).
One thing to note is that I haven't removed the trailing
whitespace from the drxj_map.h file, as it was an automatically
generated file. I wasn't sure what implications could arise from
altering the file.
Thank you, and have a great day:) Patrick.
Hi,
I'm not a developer, but I have some basic understanding how v4l
patching works.
You don't have to have a repository online, you can simply submit
patches from your local tree using git or hg or even diff tools.
Patches should come from newer trees (preferably current
development tree) so they could apply cleanly.
Please read the following links and see if they could help:
http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Developer_Section
http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Development:_How_to_submit_patches
Thanks for the reply. I've looked through most of the links on those
pages, and am almost ready to send the patches. The main problem that
I have is that even after rebasing my branch (per the instruction on
the media_git.git page), when I do a format patch there are 350+
patches generated (all but the last 29 are from other submitters).
So, I either have to wait for all of those other patches to be added
to the master repository, or I need to figure out how to isolate my
specific patches from the list (so I can send them).
If you've got any suggestions on that, I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm
more new to git than anything else--as most of my programming was in
classes, and they don't teach this stuff there.
Have a great day:)
Patrick.
Hello,
don't know the answer, so I am adding list back.
Maybe someone else would know how to synchronize your old tree against
current development tree (except by manually cut/paste).
