Hi, ATrpms has development packages for Fedora Core distributions from FC3 to FC5. Earlier FCs and RHEL have kernels < 2.6.12, which currently aren't supported.
There are two sets of packages, one for the v4l/dvb merged mercurial
tree and one for the ivtv svn trunk.
http://atrpms.net/name/video4linux/
http://atrpms.net/name/ivtv-0.7.x/
For now please consider the packages only for testing
purposes. Hopefully later these may become production quality rpms
that can be used to enrich your distribution's kernel with
v4l/dvb/ivtv/etc w/o having to drop to custom kernel builds. Maybe
ATrpms will pick up SuSE and Mandriva support if enough manpower
gathers.
Note that ivtv requires the supporting modules from the v4l tree, so
ivtv users need both. This dependency is also in the packages itself,
so using a depsolver will already take care of that.
They are both in the testing repo of ATrpms, so if you want to use a
depsolver like smart, apt or yum, you will need to (temporarily)
enable atrpms-testing.
The packages are layed out as other packages containing kernel module
components, a kernel-agnostic part (empty for video4linux) and a
kernel specific part (kmdl). Let foo be the project you want to
install (foo is video4linux and/or ivtv in this case), then use
smart install foo foo-kmdl-`uname -r`
Replace smart with apt-get or yum depending on which depsolver you are
using. You can also install manually, of course, by downloading the
packages for the above URLs.
Please report issues either at bugzilla.atrpms.net (if it is a
packaging bug) or upstream on the respective lists.
