The best realizable alternatives we can think of are: c) herd media-tv and [EMAIL PROTECTED] (projects mail-address) as maintainer. d) create an own herd vdr. A package can belong to more than one herd. So you could create a media-vdr herd, and have two herd tags in the metadata.xml for the vdr packages; media-tv and media-vdr (I suggest the media- prefix as it's not necessarily obvious what vdr means on its own). If you do this, make sure there's a maintainer tag. However (c) seems to be the most sensible approach. What do you think of that? Zzam -- Kevin F. Quinn signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Uven if the maintainer is in the herd, this procedure should be followed, as it is easier for the maintainer to track down the package. -- Ioannis Aslanidis deathwing00[at]gentoo.org 0xB9B11F4E -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list

It will combine the program media-video/vdr, its plugins (87 plugins now in portage under media-plugins), some programs and some supplementary ebuilds (scripts ...). You are not going to propose to start moving stuff around next are you? Most of the ebuilds are at the moment member of media-tv herd. Whats wrong with the existing herd? At the beginning hd_brummy and I are going to care about this herd. If there are other developers out there who want to help, please let us know. VDR is an app for watching and recording digital television (dvb/atsc). It can be extended with plugins to not only support dvb input and hardware mpeg2 output. media-tv seems like the right place. vdr supports hardware-wakeup for recording timers, remotes with lirc, OSD, teletext/subtitles, EPG (electronic program guide) with various different views, burning dvds from recordings, some OSD games, viewing divx files, listening mp3s ...

Maybe the question should rather be: 'Will it allow you to manage the vdr-related packages and it's bugs easier and more efficient than before?' media-tv seems like the right place.
