Update existing gettext patch to use new MKDIR_P
This patch replaces tvtime-1.0.2_p20110131-gettext.patch and uses the new MKDIR_P instead of mkdir_p.

Patch for ebuild to include previous patch
This patch switches the gettext patch used in the ebuild to the new patch.
Thanks for the patch. I'll have to defer this to the herd though as I'm no longer able to test (and use) the package due to my new DVB hardware. Since no one from media-tv has fixed this or seems interested, its time to treeclean. It seems to build with automake-1.13 though. But this bug will remain open because it tracks the removal I've been following the hubbub on the mailing list.I didn't use this package, but I have both the nessacary hardware and an analog signal to test this package. So I unamsked and - YES, it both compiles and works, with the following caveats: * The ALSA OSS compaitiblity modules are needed to volume control (although sound works without them) and I could not get a picture without * Channel Management->Disable Signal Detection was needed to actually get a picture instead of a blue screen Still, it works better the mplayer, which either i get no audio, or i can get audio (with some extremely convoluted command-line options) but can't change channels.

Ok but that does not change anything. The package has open bugs, has no maintainer so it goes away. Lets don't discuss the same thing over and over I have to say that I'm not completely oversee what reasons cause the removal... but this is the best tv-viewer under linux which I use without problems for over 5 years now. (While permanently struggle with alsa and oss) You also may consider that serious viewing tv on pc requires external audio hardware. So there may be a couple of users who get there sound right out of the tv-card (internal or external). So alsa IMHO has never been a dependency here. So I don't see any bugs here, all compiles fine. Can I do something to prove? Created attachment 345026 [details]
no real problem here???

I prob. have to say sorry for adding "talk" here. I'll try to understand thoose bugs then first... Hi folks, I've been used tvtime for watching TV from a old PixelView PlayTV Pro card (bt878) a couple of years and I just think it's a great software. Igor Isaias Banlian did a good work patching the source code of 1.0.2 version and putting available at http://code.google.com/p/tvtime-fixed/. I created an overlay at my Github (rene) with a version of tvtime ebuild which works. My overlay it's at: git://github.com/rene/gentoo.git Although I have no experience in ebuild maintenance, I'm an advanced Gentoo user with interesting in maintain tvtime ebuilds, since nobody else wants to. regards, Renê Thanks Please attach the ebuild here ( and a diff over the existing one in the portage tree) Created attachment 346424 [details, diff]

It should be ~amd64 ~ppc ~x86 Also, why did you drop alsa (and all the alsa patches) ? Are you sure the package does not need alsa support anymore? Given the source code hasn't changed, it's very likely that these patches are still needed and the alsa dependency need remain as it is. What is the status of this? The bug has a time for treecleaning but mask message no :/ For some reason Marko's message just get losted on my mail box. Sorry... Markos, as I wrote, I didn't change the code, I just got a modified version (tvtime-fixed). The ALSA patches are not 100% compatible with this version, so since the code compiled and worked on my Gentoo (with ALSA support and without the patches) I just droped then. However, I'll work on the pacthes... media-tv/tvtime has been removed from portage because I haven't seen qualifying ebuild from anyone. we will treat media-tv/tvtime now like any other new package entering tree. the old files can still be found: http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/media-tv/tvtime/?hideattic=0 i hope someone will collect all the patches for tvtime, review them with care, and merge them together with eg. build system cleanup to some hosting page like github, googlecode, ... and calls it tvtime-ng |
