I previously told you once already, in a private email, that if you have truly moved on from LinuxTV, then leave it at that, and stop with the parting shots/insults. After all, you have yourself asked on several occasions on the mailing list for discussion on the matter to cease. So what's good for the goose should be good for the gander. b) Your comment is highly hypocritical on another level too. Consider comments from the "[RFC/PATCHES] xc3028 hybrid tuner, em28xx/em2880-dvb, saa7134, cx88" thread on the mailing list this past May: Quoting M.Krufky ( from: http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2007-May/018016.html): "If we decide to go this route, it will truly be the best compromise -- It will allow us to merge in support for the sixty some-odd devices that Markus is talking about, and it will allow for easy development of newer devices that use this tuner ic. The major benefit of this method is that it _will_ allow for us developers to put our heads together after the fact, and find better ways of supporting hybrid tuners. At that point, the pressure of 'trying to merge support for sixty devices' will be gone. Developers will finally be able to discuss this issue without the pressure of the current pending issues, and we _will_ be able to find a better solution. As far as I can tell, it seems that this is the only way for us to push this through, while not upsetting other developers. .... I will volunteer to keep up the maintenance of the xc3028-fe module until that proper, better solution is agreed upon." Quoting M. Rechberger (http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2007-May/018084.html): "This is not acceptable for me anymore" As I stated in my last message in this thread, and as others have stated before on several occasions, "temporary solutions to get things done" were available, only you choose not to follow such courses. Live with that decision and follow your path. But don't pretend it was otherwise. _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
