Anew ebuild for wirbel's w_scan
Created attachment 96503 [details] overlay dir for the ebuild It would be nice to have it in gentoo.
Please, don't attach tarballs. Reopen with a plaintext ebuild. http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/handbook/handbook.xml?part=2&chap=3#doc_chap2
Created attachment 96522 [details] plaintext ebuild for w_scan

I add the url for the home and a small description from the wiki. Winfried Köhlers w_scan is an application that scans for DVB-T and DVB-C channel information to be included in VDRs channels.conf file. w_scan is special because it does not require any region-specific initial transponder data for operation.
assigned to vdr@gentoo.org
@hd_brummy: if you meant to assign to yourself, you need to re-assign, not check Accept bug. :)
It is in the tree now, thanks for submitting the ebuild.
Note #1: w_scan-20060903 compiles and runs fine on amd64 with gcc-4.1.1 and gcc 4.1.1-r1. A developer might want to confirm this and consider a ~amd64 keyword. Note #2: Metadata is missing.
1. I already added the missing metadata. 2. Noone will notice your text as this bug is marked as resolved.
@amd64: See comment #10, check if it works and add your keyword. It should be able to scan dvb-c and dvb-t for receivable channels.
Ah, I thought a supplementation to this bug was appropriate because a search with "w_scan" gives only one hit - sorry you had to open this one again.

(In reply to comment #14) Helsinki, Finland; PAL-B. I had no problems whatsoever with DVB-T, but couldn't get any channels for DVB-C because all (free) channels in my area use QAM_128, while w_scan reports that "QAM_AUTO not supported, trying QAM_64 and QAM_256", although that's probably just me, not the program.
Than your card doesn't support the auto parameter for QAM and w_scan cannot be used. try it with the -x parameter and than feed the output to a regular scan from dvb-utils. Even if I requested it and posted the ebuild now, after using it for a while, I believe not only that it doesn't work reliably but that is almost useless. It simply finds out the frequencies supported by the card (can be done with dvbsnoot -s feinfo) and than scans them setting all other dvb params to auto. The channels.conf generated still contains all settings to auto and, at least with my hardware, causes frequent crashes. So I would not reccomend using it to generate a conf but only using it with the parameter -x generate initial tuning data for (dvb-)scan and then use a regular (dvb-)scan to generate the config file. Despite its problems this can be useful for newbie that need a simple command to figure out the frequencies supported by their cards. More advanced user have better options to find the channel (scan dvbsnoop)
seems to already have ~amd64 keyword: 29 Jan 2007; Sven Wegener <swegener@gentoo.org> w_scan-20060903.ebuild: Add ~amd64 keyword.
