I’m looking over the page here:

http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/How_to_Obtain,_Build_and_Install_V4L-DVB_Device_Drivers

There are a number of passages on this page which could use a little 
clarification. But before I jump in, I want to be sure I really understand them.

1) "This seems to be fixed on a fully updated systtem (5 July 2011)"

Given that this warning appears to be talking about a problem that was fixed 
almost five years ago, would anyone object if this was moved to a note section 
at the bottom of the page? And is the second note still an issue or is that 
long gone too?

2) "Note: The build script will clone the entire media-tree.git, which will 
take some time”

We should be precise with our terminology here. I believe this is trying to say:

"This build script will copy the entire linux source code tree from our git 
repository into the 'media' directory."

Is that correct? Or do some of you actually have something called "media_tree"?

3) "make tar DIR=<some dir with media -git tree>”

Am I correct this passage is referring to the same thing as (2)? That is, 
"media -git tree” is the same thing as "media-tree.git"? If so, would it not be 
proper to use the same terminology here?

And am I correct in understanding that this step, the tar/untar, is replacing 
the original "media" directory I got from v4l with the new one in the 
external/custom/other kernel?--
