Description Sebastian 2004-08-16 01:23:23 UTC
Hello,

I'd like to ask for VDR ebuilds. I'm using it for years now but I never found a usable ebuild. I'd like to have support for runlevel integration, plugins, patches and so on. I don't know about the States, but here in Europe VDR is getting quite big. I'm from Germany and even my parents have a VDR, and also I read from many French that they use it, any many guys from other countries in Europe. In Europe sattelite TV is wide spread and more and more multimedia living room multimedia boxes are sold on the market. The alternative opensource multimedia software VDR is well known and actually often preferred over the comercial products. With its plugins concept it covers more and more subjects than watching TV only. DivX, pictures, EPG, games, DVD... you name it. There is already a project serving VDR ebuilds on vdr.gentoo.de, but it's a little away from being perfect because it's missing the perfect gentoo integration. 

Can this be done with gentoo.org? Are there gentoo devs that have a TV DVB card from Technotrend interested in doing this?

Thanks

Sebastian

try using gentoo-de portage overlay

echo "app-portage/gentoolkit-dev ~ARCH" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
emerge gentoolkit-dev

puts this into /etc/gensync/gentoo-de.syncsource
id="gentoo-de"
description="gentoo.de Portage Overlay"
rsync="rsync://rsync.gentoo.de/gentoo-de-ebuilds"
// adjust this overlay variable!!!
overlay="/usr/local/overlays/gentoo-de/"

add it to PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/overlays/gentoo-de/" in make.conf

gensync gentoo-de
echo "media-video/vdr ~ARCH" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
emerge vdr

You'll get a quite good ebuild of the latest vdr + patches + plugins
