ebuild with new URL for usb-dib0700 firmware

emerge media-tv/linuxtv-dvb-firmware for DVB_CARDS="usb-dib0700" fails. Original URL http://www.wi-bw.tfh-wildau.de/~pboettch/home/files/dvb-usb-dib0700-1.20.fw is not available anymore.
Updated URL should be http://linuxtv.org/downloads/firmware/dvb-usb-dib0700-1.20.fw
Added updated ebuild for reference

thanks

there has been some changes at the linuxdvb firmware section which would require update of the package

http://www.linuxtv.org/downloads/firmware/#tarball

2014-08-31
Changes by Mauro Carvalho Chehab:
- Added firmware files for xc4000, xc5000c, it9135 and as102
- Renamed v4l-cx23885-enc.fw to v4l-cx23885-enc-broken.fw, as this firmware is reported to not work.

URL changed from http://linuxtv.org/downloads/firmware/v4l-cx23885-enc.fw to
http://www.linuxtv.org/downloads/firmware/v4l-cx23885-enc-broken.fw
Is there any working one out there?

lifeview URL is broken as well. Closest thing I could find is http://theether.net/download/LifeView/LR306n/Drv_2.11.02.zip but I do not know if it is right file as it seems to contain dll file not the fw file.

so is http://www.twinhan.com/files/AW/Software/TwinhanDTV2.608a.zip for which I could not find actual replacement URI

http://www.escape-edv.de/endriss/firmware/dvb-ttpci-01.fw-fc2624 also changed to http://www.escape-edv.de/endriss/firmware/dvb-ttpci-01.fw-fb2624

http://www.avermedia-usa.com/support/Drivers/AVerTVHD_MCE_A180_Drv_v1.2.2.16.zip also changed but I am not to sure to which one :( http://www.avermedia-usa.com/AVerTV/Product/ProductDetail.aspx?Id=88&tab=APDriver this one perhapps?
http://www.avermedia-usa.com/AVerTV/Upload/Download/InstallDriver_A180R_3.5.64.56_Vista_x64_20070410.exe

I just found out that all those missing files are available here http://rsync16.de.gentoo.org/files/linuxtv-dvb-firmware/ Probably on other rsync servers all well but I have not checked as I am not sure if this is appropriate location to be used in ebuild
Comment 3 Wojciech Myrda 2014-09-20 09:09:40 UTC
I would almost forget. What kind of file would this link http://www.ite.com.tw/EN/Services/download.ashx?file=57 suppose to download? It is broken as well

linuxtv-dvb-firmware-2014.08.31.ebuild

this is my best effort to make an updated and working ebuild, but there is just to many variables for me to understand all the stuff in there

For updated get_dvb_firmware I used the one available at https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/dvb/get_dvb_firmware and renamed it to get_dvb_firmware-2014.08.31

this firmwares are also provided via linux-firmware and the kernel, that are properly maintained/updated
