Hi, maybe the kwintv package should be masked, as it (i believe) does not work with devfs (yet). the past few days a couple people on gentoo-user have been asking why kwintv is not working... regards Thilo here a mail from george staikos (kwintv maintainer): >>>>>>>>><<<< Yes this is of course a problem.

This is historical code and we are planning to wipe it and start over. I have new code which is devfs compatible. We plan to start with a major rewrite in May.

Indeed, the rewrite (known as kwintv3) is progressing nicely. It lives in the kdenonbeta kde.org cvs module for now. It may be some time before there's a release though. The last kwintv release (0.8.11) is indeed ancient and bugridden if you look at the current cvs as reference. Il'l look at making a cvs snapshot release for now, but I'll have to get someone who's good with tv capture stuff (psypete?) on it too to test it properly. There is, BTW, a cvs ebuild for kwintv in my kde-cvs package (www.gentoo.org/~danarmak/kde-cvs.html).
Or rather, now that I think of it, you're a tv-card-savvy person too right? Do you want to test a cvs snapshot of kwintv3?
Hi, When emerging kwintv 0.8.11 I get a little bit different errors: --- snip --- /usr/include/g++-v32/backward/backward_warning.h:32:2: warning: #warning This file includes at least one deprecated or antiquated header.

I'm masking kwintv-0.8.11 as old & broken. (Of course if someone else wants to step up to fixing and maintaining it he's welcome :) The new (kde3) kwintv3 project is quite active (see www.kwintv.org) but so far it's only had a single alpha prerelease, and that two months ago, so there's nothing for me to package atm. Meanwhile I suggest people use the cvs ebuild to get the latest develoment version, which seems pretty good (though not enough so that I'd want to maintain semistable snapshot ebuilds). It doesn't require cvs kdelibs or anything like that.
