v4l-dvb-cvs fetches sources from cvs. As of 20060130, linuxtv.org publish their latest sources from a mercurial repository. CVS has not been updated since then.

I don't know if you want this, but digging on my workstation I should be able to find a mercurial.eclass if you're interested. regards, Benoit
The transition to mercurial is known here since it happened. The problem is that there is no production-quality ebuild existing up to now. As soon as it is complete it will be commited. I'm for sure interested in a mercurial-eclass.
i advise someone sticks a nice fat warning on this ebuild just to state that CVS is no longer used for V4L development, and that the current mainstream kernel has more recent drivers than this ebuild. possibly state this bug# to refer to for progress on a mercurial ebuild?
Now there is an ebuild v4l-dvb-hg which fetches the sources from mercurial. I added a move statement so emerge should silently update v4l-dvb-cvs along the path "v4l-dvb-cvs -> v4l-dvb-hg".
