There are some optional patches included with the Debian source package, see "Optional Patches" in here: http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-vdr-dvb/vdr/vdr/trunk/debian/README.Debian?op=file&rev=0&sc=0# ...and the patch list is here... http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-vdr-dvb/vdr/vdr/trunk/debian/patches/00list?op=file&rev=0&sc=0 ...but I don't see the patches that you mentioned. I haven't tried it, but this page also mentions patching the Debian source packages: http://www.murrayc.com/blog/permalink/2006/04/21/building-modified-debian-packages/ Although I suppose it might be difficult finding a version of the patch to apply to the particular version of VDR used in the source package. Anyway, if you figure it out, try and document it on the wiki. -- Richard Wall
