Dear all,
I just upgraded vdr from 1.7.29 to 1.7.31. After that I noticed that I lost my channels.conf as it was overwritten by "make install". :-(
A closer look to the changes made in 1.7.30 revealed that install-conf target in the Makefile no longer checks if the CONFDIR already exists. In previous version *.conf-files where only installed once (when the CONFDIR just was created).
Was this change made by intention?
This was part of the patch that introduced FHS compatibility:

Whether this was the intention of the patch author is beyond me.
Since personally I don't "install" VDR and run it with only a single
directory, I pretty much accept Makefile patches regarding installation
"as is". So if you have a suggestion on how to fix this, let's have it!
