My packages are available for Debian Woody and Sarge and come in two
different "patch-levels". (see the examples at the end of this page).
Most of the packages have originally be created for the c't-vdr project
(c't is a german computer magazine) and are now maintained by the
Debian VDR and DVB packaging Team.
( http://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-vdr-dvb/ - with an English
mailinglist - You're welcome!)
Besides the normal vdr packages, vdrdevel (maintained by Thomas Günther)
reflects the most actual vdr development version and can be installed
in parallel to the normal vdr package. You can easily switch between
the two versions on a running system.
bye,
Tobias
Thanks for your clear explanations.
