Quite some change, the tarball is now 16 times as big due to autotool bloat and there isn't any sane way to perform a code review against the current and *official* driver. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 18696 Aug 31 2005 ivtv_xdriver_src_0.10.6.tgz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 309815 Mar 31 04:42 xf86-video-ivtv-0.10.6.tar.gz Imakefile | 55 ---- Makefile | 6 Makefile.am | 37 ++ Makefile.in | 489 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ TODO | 11 ivtv.h | 437 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ivtv_drv.c | 605 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ivtv_drv.h | 17 + ivtv_hw.c | 819 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ivtv_hw.h | 86 ++++++ ivtv_xv.c | 14 - ivtvdev.c | 605 -------------------------------------------- ivtvdev.h | 17 - ivtvhw.c | 819 ------------------------------------------------------------ ivtvhw.h | 86 ------ I think this is something you first have to discuss with upstream and get their go before publishing such modified code and even packaging it for broader consuming. I'm sure John, who's the maintainer of the xdriver will listen to any suggestions you have. I'm not saying that the changes are bad. It is just not the way oss works, unless you want to fork the project. If you really want to fork then please use another versioning, the current state will only confuse users. Otherwise please feed this list with little patches that can be reviewed. Thanks. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
