It is available at: http://git.linuxtv.org/mchehab/media-utils.git For now, all dvb-apps stuff is on a separate directory. It makes sense to latter re-organize the directories. Anyway, the configure script will allow disable dvb-apps, v4l-utils and/or libv4l. The default is to have all enabled. One problem I noticed is that the dvb-apps are at version 1.1. So, if we're releasing a new version, we'll need to jump from 0.9 to dvb-apps version + 1. So, IMO, the first version with the merge should be version 1.2. Comments? Regards, Mauro
