So, why not discuss it again? - dvb-apps is a repository consisting of simple stand-alone utils, basically meant for raw tests alone. (these tiny test apps don't have any external dependencies, so there exists no issues regarding packaging. for such a development model, a merge with a repository having other dependencies, this merge concept doesn't work well) In fact your own example repository with --disable this --enable that implies that, one needs to download the whole thing, altogether. I don't need to download things that's irrelevant to me. - a repository and how it works depends on the people working with it. (It depends on the comfortability of the people working with/maintaining it. It was found that the existing model works well and needs no change) - just simply making a release number, doesn't make a new release. (That said, a release is very near) - I don't see any significant contributions either from Hans V, the proposer for the merger of dvb-apps, or from you. - API v5 is severely broken in many senses and unusable in the way it is supposed to be used, it is still worked around using the v3 API (I will address this broken issue and try to have a fix in another mail) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe linux-media in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Didn't we've this same discussion back when v4l-utils was formed, and didn't the dvb-apps people want to keep doing there own tree + release? I'm fine with this if it gets buy in from the dvb-apps people, but if they don't want this I'm strongly against it! Which would leave just media-ctl, I'm fine with that going into v4l-utils, and Laurent getting direct push access to v4l-utils (if he does not have that already), but in that case I would like to keep the v4l-utils name as renaming is a pain for distros and leads to confusion.

I think through, that we should work to have an smart configure script that would allow enabling/disabling the several components of the utils, like the --enable/--disable approach used by autoconf scripts: --enable-libv4l --enable-dvb --enable-ir --enable-v4l --enable-mc ... Of course, using --disable-libv4l would mean that libv4l-aware utils would be statically linked with the current libv4l libraries. This would help distributions to migrate to it, as they can keep having separate packages for each component for the existing stable distros, while merging into a single source package for future distros.

This would help distributions to migrate to it, as they can keep having separate packages for each component for the existing stable distros, while merging into a single source package for future distros. A patch for the above ended by being simple to add. For now, I've just added two options, to allow disabling dynamic libv4l compilation/install and to allow disabling v4l-utils. It is not hard to add more flags there to allow selecting other things. - Add support to disable libv4l and/or v4l-utils Add some autogen magic to allow disabling the compilation of v4l-utils or libv4l. If libv4l is disabled but v4l-utils is enabled, it will still build libv4l statically, and will linkedit the v4l-utils against the static libraries. This way distributions can ship v4l-utils on a separate package from libv4l, and even having things like providing a v4l-utils based on a different version of libv4l. This changeset also opens space to add more libraries and other packages, as the first step to turn it into a media-utils tree. While here, adds a v4l-utils.spec rpm file, as found on Fedora.
