The master copy of the video4linux kernel subsystem is now maintained at 
http://www.linuxtv.org/downloads/video4linux/

=== Video4linux snapshots available from linuxtv.org ===


We are now publishing periodic snapshots (about once a month) at 
linuxtv.org. The main idea is to have "stable" snapshots on Linuxtv. You
can check it at:

 http://www.linuxtv.org/downloads/video4linux/

The ChangeLog is also maintained at linuxtv.org. Our intention is to have 
one snapshot generated at the same time it is being submited to -mm 
series.

I intend to send a first series of synchronizing patches to -mm this 
weekend. There is already a working first patch at the site.

* The cvs tree at cvs.linuxtv.org is now the "master copy" of the 
video4linux subsystem.

* Patches should be built against video4linux cvs.

===How to get your changes into the mainline tree?===

1. Post your patches to the video4linux mailing list[1] for review and 
testing by other people. 

2. Using [PATCH] at subject will help CVS maintainers to better handing 
it.

3.  Please edit also ChangeLog, including some comments about it.

4.  Every patch should have a line like '''Signed-off-by: Your name 
<name@yoursite.com>''' with name of people envolving on making it.

5.  Fix problems and repeat until everyone is happy ;)

6.  Maintainers will periodically submit changes to mainstream.
