Bugzilla Bug 90535

Hi,

please find attached an update to the ivtv 0.2.0_rc3 ebuild.

In essence, I've changed the following:
- fixed download URLs: the previous ebuild wouldn't download any src anymore
- adapted ebuild to properly work with KOUTPUT-type systems
- updated home page


Please test this thoroughly; I can't test on a non-KOUTPUT system. Also, please test this if you have a kernel with FB enabled - mine isn't.

This is my first ebuild. It is build upon an ebuild for the unstable ivtv 0.3.0 branch I've found on the web.

ah, yes: this downloads the latest "0.2.0_rc3j" release.

ivtv-0.2.0_rc3-r4.ebuild

This ebuild also contains a fix for #84585 and #90071 .

Personally, I prefer patches against the current ebuilds in portage.

In any case, I should have a new ivtv ebuild in portage tonight.

If it doesn't have everything from your ebuild, reopen, and tell me what it's 
missing. Preferably with a patch.

Your ebuild works perfectly for me. Thanks.

I've added a patch against it with some optional changes:
- I've changed the HOME PAGE to ivtv.writeme.ch, a Wiki which answers a lot
  of questions regarding old ivtv drivers and new. This might reduce the number
  of bugs being filed against the ivtv package, should it become even more
  popular (mythtv is a force to reckon with :-) ) As an alternative, the current
  home page of the releases is http://www.ivtv.tv
- I've added a 2nd URL for the source code, one which would get current when
  Chris Kennedy creates a new release. I guess it is used once the code isn't
  found in the first location?
- I've included more einfos at the end, which explain more accurately what has
  to be done in order to get the modules up and running. I don't know how much
  we want to explain here, or whether we rather leave things as they are and 
  eventually patch the files in the ebuild.

I leave it up to you how much you'd like to include of this. For me, the ebuild already is perfectly fine the way it is now.
