Hi folks,
As you may have noticed on lkml and the v4l mailing list, I've stopped
maintaining video4linux in the linux kernels. That means:
* The cvs tree at cvs.bytesex.org is *not* the "master copy" of the
video4linux subsystem any more. For the time being it is the 2.6
standard kernel. This may change if someone else decides to take
over maintainance and handle it differently ...
* Patches should be built against the latest 2.6 kernel, not
against video4linux cvs.
* I've accumulated a number of v4l patches in my inbox last month,
didn't managed to process a single one of them so far due to
limited time, and I suspect this isn't going to change in the
future ...
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. Fix problems and
repeat until everyone is happy ;)
(2) Create a nice patch with changelog and everything, have
a look at the Documentation/SubmittingPatches guidelines
for the details. Make sure the patch applies fine against
the latest kernel (prefearable the latest -mm kernel).
(3) Submit the patch. Mail it to the kernel mailing list[2]
and Andrew Morton[3] (the guy maintaining the -mm tree).
It's fine to Cc: me here, that probably makes it easier
to get the changes accepted because I can comment in case
there are questions or objections from Andrew or other
guys on the kernel list.
cheers,
Gerd
