Some of that has already been done for gentoo, I don't know if any of that applies to the changes you made, but there it is all the same: http://www.ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Howto:Gentoo We haven't heard an official word on what the main devs want to do with it, whether it means branching the driver into a pre-6.9 and post-6.9 version or just moving on to the modular world. Whatever the default tarball package is, it should probably work fine with any source-building distro (gentoo, etc) without much change, since it basically just downloads the normal x.org tarballs to use. - Jeff _______________________________________________ ivtv-devel mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-devel
