That merge-trees mostly worked, but not quite, still missing
the one file without dvb in the name:

/root/sources/v4l-kernel/v4l/dmxdev.h:38:19: error: demux.h: No such
file or directory

I fixed this about 2 hours ago... Can you try again now?

It says right at the top of the the cvs info page that it often only
works on the current -rc, and a patch is needed to make it work on the
latest stable kernel. Is ther eany good reason compatibility isn't
maintained?


That is dvb-kernel cvs.... This is NOT the case with v4l-kernel cvs. In v4l-kernel cvs, using the tree-merge, we are only building dvb frontend modules and hybrid v4l/dvb modules. These are fully backwards compatible as much as video4linux cvs ever was.

OTOH, building using dvb-kernel cvs, builds dvb-core, and other dvb-only modules... These are NOT all backwards compatible....

We hope to make dvb-kernel cvs more backwards compatible in the future, although I don't know how long that will take.

However, we always try to make v4l-kernel backwards-compatible as much as possible. If you are having troubles with older kernels, please send patches and problem descriptions / compile output to the v4l mailing list.

Cheers,

Michael Krufky
