Hi, I would like to know if anyone of you has any objections against the following patch: It remove two obsolete text files in /Documentation/dvb.
1. They do not contain any technical information that is making sense. 2. The correct place for mentioning a developer's or contributor's name is a file header, but not a text file in case we're talking about a driver file, not a documentation text file. 3. These two files are NEVER administered or maintained, that is why they are not only useless but furthermore completely out of date. --- a/Documentation/dvb/contributors.txt 2008-12-25 00:26:37.000000000 +0100 +++ b/Documentation/dvb/contributors.txt 1970-01-01 01:00:00.000000000 +0100 @@ -1,96 +0,0 @@ -Thanks go to the following people for patches and contributions: - -Michael Hunold <[email protected]> - for the initial saa7146 driver and it's recent overhaul - -Christian Theiss - for his work on the initial Linux DVB driver - -Marcus Metzler <[email protected]> -Ralph Metzler <[email protected]> - for their continuing work on the DVB driver - -Michael Holzt <[email protected]> - for his contributions to the dvb-net driver - -Diego Picciani <[email protected]> - for CyberLogin for Linux which allows logging onto EON - (in case you are wondering where CyberLogin is, EON changed its login - procedure and CyberLogin is no longer used.) - -Martin Schaller <[email protected]> - for patching the cable card decoder driver - -Klaus Schmidinger <[email protected]> - for various fixes regarding tuning, OSD and CI stuff and his work on VDR - -Steve Brown <[email protected]> - for his AFC kernel thread - -Christoph Martin <[email protected]> - for his LIRC infrared handler - -Andreas Oberritter <[email protected]> -Dennis Noermann <[email protected]> -Felix Domke <[email protected]> -Florian Schirmer <[email protected]> -Ronny Strutz <[email protected]> -Wolfram Joost <[email protected]> -...and all the other dbox2 people - for many bugfixes in the generic DVB Core, frontend drivers and - their work on the dbox2 port of the DVB driver - -Oliver Endriss <[email protected]> - for many bugfixes - -Andrew de Quincey <[email protected]> - for the tda1004x frontend driver, and various bugfixes - -Peter Schildmann <[email protected]> - for the driver for the Technisat SkyStar2 PCI DVB card - -Vadim Catana <[email protected]> -Roberto Ragusa <[email protected]> -Augusto Cardoso <[email protected]> - for all the work for the FlexCopII chipset by B2C2,Inc. - -Davor Emard <[email protected]> - for his work on the budget drivers, the demux code, - the module unloading problems, ... - -Hans-Frieder Vogt <[email protected]> - for his work on calculating and checking the crc's for the - TechnoTrend/Hauppauge DEC driver firmware - -Michael Dreher <[email protected]> -Andreas 'randy' Weinberger - for the support of the Fujitsu-Siemens Activy budget DVB-S - -Kenneth Aafløy <[email protected]> - for adding support for Typhoon DVB-S budget card - -Ernst Peinlich <[email protected]> - for tuning/DiSEqC support for the DEC 3000-s - -Peter Beutner <[email protected]> - for the IR code for the ttusb-dec driver - -Wilson Michaels <[email protected]> - for the lgdt330x frontend driver, and various bugfixes - -Michael Krufky <[email protected]> - for maintaining v4l/dvb inter-tree dependencies - -Taylor Jacob <[email protected]> - for the nxt2002 frontend driver - -Jean-Francois Thibert <[email protected]> - for the nxt2004 frontend driver - -Kirk Lapray <[email protected]> - for the or51211 and or51132 frontend drivers, and - for merging the nxt2002 and nxt2004 modules into a - single nxt200x frontend driver. - -(If you think you should be in this list, but you are not, drop a - line to the DVB mailing list) --- a/Documentation/dvb/readme.txt 2008-12-25 00:26:37.000000000 +0100 +++ b/Documentation/dvb/readme.txt 1970-01-01 01:00:00.000000000 +0100 @@ -1,62 +0,0 @@ -Linux Digital Video Broadcast (DVB) subsystem -============================================= - -The main development site and CVS repository for these -drivers is http://linuxtv.org/. - -The developer mailing list linux-dvb is also hosted there, -see http://linuxtv.org/lists.php.
