dvb-kernel CVS branched for Linux 2.4
<p>
Main DVB driver development focus moves to Linux 2.6.
</p>
<p>
Maintaining the DVB driver for both Linux 2.4 and 2.6
in the same CVS tree became too problematic. E.g. it is
not possible to create DVB driver patches for the
mainline kernel directly from CVS without doing a lot
of work by hand. We also need to do some structural
changes which are not easy to do when we always have
to keep 2.4 backwards compatibility.
</p>
<p>
Consequently, I've created a "linux_2_4" branch in dvb-kernel CVS for
the driver version for Linux 2.4.
</p>
<p>
Main development in CVS HEAD will be for Linux 2.6 only, and all 2.4
compatibility stuff will soon be removed from HEAD.
</p>
<p>
It largely depends on public interest and your help (hint, hint)
for improvements from HEAD to be backported to 2.4. If you want
to checkout the 2.4 drivers use the following command:
</p>
<p>
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@linuxtv.org:/cvs/linuxtv co -dP -rlinux_2_4 dvb-kernel
</p>
<p>
You can also select the linux_2_4 branch when viewing files
in the <a href="http://linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/dvb-kernel/">CVS web</a> interface.
