Please don't do that.

I've already created a new dvb-apps CVS tree into which I want to
move the the userspace stuff from the old "DVB" tree.

The goal is to separate drivers and libs/applications into
two separate packages, mainly because the DVB drivers are
already shipped with 2.6.x so you don't need to download them
again.

I also have no plans of doing a DVB-1.0.2 release, once
dvb-apps is populated I would rather release both a dvb-kernel
and dvb-apps package and officially deprecate the old DVB tree.

Johannes
