Update for uk-EmleyMoor post-DSO
FYI: According to LinuxTV.org, linux-dvb-apps is now considered old/legacy code. You'll find the newer code only in git - no stable yet(?). Use their Projects page to find the projects. http://www.linuxtv.org/projects.php Which leads to DVB utils (dvd-apps): http://linuxtv.org/hg/dvb-apps You can quickly download a git tip tarball to the left and compile with Make. It looks like Fedora is using snapshots for this We would need to move this to take periodical snapshots as our version is completely outdated I'm already dealing with tvheadend and I could take a look at gpac too. I have just added a dtv-scan-tables package, which has the files that v4l-utils is missing, so once those revdeps are dealt with, this can be last-rited. Hmm, other distros still package this (usually as dvb-apps) for libdvben50221.so, which is still (optionally) used by tvheadend and not available elsewhere. Maybe we should keep this but without the scan tables. The bug has been closed via the following commit(s): https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=5aad06c19363f6f917003987dd83b16dc01092e4 commit 5aad06c19363f6f917003987dd83b16dc01092e4 Author: James Le Cuirot <chewi@gentoo.org> AuthorDate: 2017-11-29 23:57:39 +0000 Commit: James Le Cuirot <chewi@gentoo.org> CommitDate: 2017-12-03 22:13:49 +0000 media-tv/linuxtv-dvb-apps: Newer snapshot, EAPI 6, cleanup As this is no longer maintained upstream, it had been suggested that this package be last-rited but there are still utilities and libraries that are not available elsewhere. libdvben50221 is still used by tvheadend, for example. Other distros still package this accordingly. The DTV scan tables are no longer included as they have been split out into a new project, hence the new dependency.
