[linux-dvb] Status of v4l repositories / merging new one

[Helmut Auer]

Hello List

AFAIK there are different v4l repositories supporting differnet hardware, e.g v4l-dvb(missing
skystar HD), liplianin (missing knc1) etc.
To add another one, we have a repository supporting the pci-e dual dvb-s low pointer profile
mediapointer card :)
But for my distribution I'd like to have one repository, supporting all cards
Whats to do to get all these repositories merged ?
Are there any plans about doing that ?

The base development tree is v4l-dvb. It is up to the driver authors to submit
me pull requests for their work, in order to have their drivers merged.

They do it when they feel comfortable that the driver is ready for submission.

With the creation of drivers/staging, a few weeks ago, even drivers that are
not yet mature enough for their usage can be added. So, all that is currently
needed is the driver author interests for having their work merged.

PS.: please post at linux-media@vger.kernel.org. The linux-dvb ML is obsolete and will
be discontinued soon.

Cheers,
