Could you start a new project for ttxtsubs-plugin? The patch is huge and the original plugin author has abandoned the whole VDR thing as far as know.
Of course. ttxtsubs hasn't been updated for 4 years. I'll try to get an OK from Ragnar, but will meanwhile create the project.
I haven't been keen enough to provide a full changelog for modifications (or even to use the plugin!), but I can dig out contributors from my mail archives if required.
Would be nice if you could do this and maybe a short summarization of some important changes.
Anyway it could be a good idea to rename somehow these community forks of plugins in order to differentiate them from the original ones: e.g. "osdteletext" -> "osdteletextcm", "ttxtsubs" -> "ttxtsubscm" (cm=community maintained).
From a Debian maintainers perspective, I wouldn't like such renamings very
much :-) As long as the original author officially released the project (like it was done with OSDTeletext) I would definitly prefer to keep the name. If there would be really a fork, so that there were two different actively maintained development branches, then I would surely follow your suggestion.
