Which kernel will fedora 10 be using? 2.6.27? Since that kernel strips
__user from headers when it installs them.
That means that when ivtv.h is included the #define __user in
videodev2.h was also stripped so the __user attribute as used in ivtv.h
is no longer known and the compiler trips on that. The fix is to remove
__user from ivtv.h.
I was wondering whether fedora 10 is also building a package for the
v4l2-apps utilities inside the v4l-dvb tree. I understand some distros
do. I ask since ivtvctl is now also available there (renamed to
ivtv-ctl to be consistent with the naming of other utils). The
utilities there are always leading. And my intention is to eventually
move all the relevant ivtv utilities to the v4l2-apps dir in v4l-dvb.
It also reminds me that I need to make a new ivtv-1.3 release for kernel
2.6.26: the last saa717x module is now also part of that kernel, so
only utilities remains in the ivtv repository.

Hans
