[linux-dvb] Re: Kernel 2.6

I'm trying. 8-)

Looking at the past, the latest 2.6 snapshots are at least 2-3 weeks 
behind the CVS version.

There's a "patches-2.6" directory, where I put the patches that I've 
recently created, but which have not been applied by Linus yet.

Because of the fact that the DVB API is not different in "DVB" (2.4) and 
"dvb-kernel" (2.4/2.6), it does not matter which kernel and driver you use.

Only if you want to use the Video4Linux API, you should care: "DVB" is 
Video4Linux-1, whereas "dvb-kernel" is Video4Linux-2 (where 
Video4Linux-1 Applications are supported through the compatibility layer)

CU
Michael.
