You make this claim but the opposite is observed on mailing lists, forums, and irc. Since you're so convinced, maybe you can share some actual evidence that backs it up since taking your word for it isn't proof of anything. Or maybe your sentence was incomplete.. Did you mean to say, "I'm not wrong, the users compiling VDR from scratch are far in minority... on the yavdr forum"? > There are plenty of silent users working the packages out of Linux' distros > repositories, Debian, Ubuntu, Gentoo, Fedrora etc. Many of them run VDR > underneath any other HTPC solution.

I know many myself, most of which compile VDR -- the opposite of what you're claiming. Does that mean anything? Not really... Only that there are obviously many VDR users with differing VDR preferences. The difference between my view and yours is that you seem to think barely anyone outside of your own viewpoint exists.. > On top of these amount, there are a lot of silent users running ISO based > VDRs.

I can't even name a single person who uses linvdr but at least I don't deny that they might exist. > But that is not the topic here, it's more that the few maintainers of these > repositories, what ever kind, are ignored in their needs to provide usable > packages to these quite huge number of users.

I'm not sure why you keep pretending there's hardly even a small handful of "DIY" users when there's plenty of evidence that says otherwise. I guess you think if you say it enough, people will be hypnotized into believing it. It may be hard for you to accept but reality is that VDR has a successful life way past yavdr and `apt-get install vdr`. _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
