Bug 19587 – gentoo-sources does not include the newest video4linux2 patches

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Jon Kolb 2003-04-18 20:31:43 UTC]

There are two patches for v4l2 available from bytesex.org.  I know that http://bytesex.org/patches/2.4/11-v4l2-api-2.4.20.diff.gz is required, and I believe that http://bytesex.org/patches/2.4/01_videodev-2.4.20.diff is also wanted.  I'd rather not have to use the vanilla sources so that I can use this patch, but the WinTV PVR 250 driver requires the newest v4l2 patches.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge gentoo-sources
2. cd /usr/src/linux
3. wget http://bytesex.org/patches/2.4/11-v4l2-api-2.4.20.diff.gz
4. zcat 11-v4l2-api-2.4.20.diff.gz | patch -p1

Actual Results:  
The patch fails to apply because an earlier version of the v4l2 api has already been added to the kernel sources.

Expected Results:  
The patch should have applied successfully (but it can't, obviously)

After looking in the directory a bit more, you may also want to pick up http://bytesex.org/patches/2.4/30_tuner-2.4.20.diff patch.  There also seem to be some patches for the bttv driver, but I don't need them so I'm rather indifferent there.

changing this to an enhancement (cause it is). i'll look @ incorporating these into a 
pfeifer-sources release and if all looks good, i will see about moving into gentoo-sources.

look @ pfeifer-sources-2.4.20_pre8 it has these patches and a bit more.
they follow on into the next gentoo-sources.


Thanks,

Jay
