Please don't do that. I've already created a new dvb-apps CVS tree into which I want to move the the userspace stuff from the old "DVB" tree. The goal is to separate drivers and libs/applications into two separate packages, mainly because the DVB drivers are already shipped with 2.6.x so you don't need to download them again. I also have no plans of doing a DVB-1.0.2 release, once dvb-apps is populated I would rather release both a dvb-kernel and dvb-apps package and officially deprecate the old DVB tree.
