I'm neutral on that issue, but I will need a co-maintainer for those bits if they end up in the new v4l-utils repo too. About the name, if the dvb utils get added and we want to reflect that, lets call it v4l-dvb-utils. media-utils is not a very descriptive name for v4l-dvb project outsiders. >> This is something distro's should be able to handle (it happens more >> often, and I >> know Fedora has procedures for this). >> >> An alternative would be to name the repo and the tarbals libv4l, either is >> fine >> with me (although I'm one of the distro packagers who is going to feel the >> pain >> of a package rename and as such wouldn't mind using libv4l as name for the >> repo and the new tarbals). > > We never had a proper release procedure for all the utilities.
