Package: tvtime
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Hitorical upstream for tvtime hasn't seen any acivity for years.

Keernellabs.com staff had adopted it [1]back in 2009 to update it to
current video (v4l2) and audio (ALSA) APIs but that effort also
got somwehat stale.

Efforts are directed now to contribute with a new [2]attempt to update
the code base, this time hosted in the linuxtv.org git repos in a way
similar to what's been done with xawtv3.

That new upstream source is incorporating patches from several Linux
distributions, even some from Debian. Current version is 1.0.4 and is
already far more stable and useful than any of the dowstream copies.

Thanks!
