Please mark linuxtv-dvb-headers stable. It is a packat containing only a RDEPEND to have the headers of the dvb-subsystem installed and is to simply get out the big or-dependencies of a lot of ebuilds. for example dvbsnoop, vdr, vdr-plugin.eclass, mplayer, xine and some more. (The last two do not have a correct depend up to now, but they will need it too).
It is customary to assign bugs to yourself and add all the arch teams to CC. That way the x86 arch team can remove itself although others are still left.
What hardware are we going to need to test this? Does anyone on the x86 team have the hardware to do so?
looking at the homepage of the package, the best bet seems to be someone who has a hauppauge card. However the standard 150-350 series cards (that most linux users would go after) are not on the list. Heres a link to the supported cards: http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB_Card_Vendors . Anyone with the hardware and willing to test?
For testing one needs a DVB or ATSC card which is supported by the driver which is included in Kernel 2.6 or provided external by media-tv/linuxtv-dvb. @tsunam: You are right, Hauppauge 150-300 cards are for analog input (they have an mpeg-encoder on board), DVB cards have no mpeg-encoder, they receive the digital-stream from satellite/terrestric sender. To test you can check wheather for example dvbsnoop-1.4.00 compiles and is usable. Problem: The test-case should best include a system with Kernel 2.4 as this is what the second-case of the or-depend is for.
I talked to zzam about this and he's going to handle media-tv apps for x86 since he has the hardware. zzam: please make sure you do all testing with stable packages only. Thanks :)
marked stable Thanks and sorry for the delay
@alpha hppa ia64 ppc64 - arch teams: Please keyword or mark stable this ebuild as it is going to be used as a dependency of mplayer and eventually more media-programs. If DVB is no topic on your arch please use.mask dvb in your profile(s). Thank you Zzam
@alpha & ia64 - team: This packet will also be a dependency of libdvb which has keyworded alpha & ia64 in some versions.
added dvb to use.mask in ppc64 profiles. we don't have hardware to test this.
Aron - does DVB hardware work on IA64? If not we could do with use.mask'ing dvb. You originally added the ia64 keyword to libdvb so I'm adding you on to confirm.
@ia64 and alpha-team: Please mark this ebuild stable to finaly be able to replace the ||-construct in depend of media-tv/libdvb-0.5.5.
agriffis did Alpha
keyword request seem to be completed
