FreeBSD-7 has 10 patches on xawtv-3.95. Some of these might be important bugfixes. If someone's interested, I can zip them up and email them to you. > AFAIK xawtv upstream is mostly dead, which is the mean reason why those patches are not getting integrated upstream. It would be good for someone to pick up doing xawtv upstream work, you can request a sf.net (or something similar) project for it, import the latest version there, then apply a set of patches from a distro of choice and then start asking distribution maintainers to merge their patch set with your new xawtv. If you do this I will poke the Fedora maintainer to get his patches integrated and if he doesn't I'll happily do it myself. Also look here for a small (but somewhat important) bugfix patch to xawtv: http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/file/f445674ce0d2/v4l2-apps/lib/libv4l/appl-patches/xawtv-3.95-fixes.patch Regards, Hans -- video4linux-list mailing list Unsubscribe mailto:video4linux-list-request@redhat.com?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/video4linux-list
