Package: wnpp
Version: N/A; reported 2001-11-02
Severity: normal
Due to lack of time and no longer having regular access to DVB hardware,
I need someone to help packaging the DVB stuff for Debian or even take
over the packaging. What I expect from my successor:
- having access to DVB hardware in order to test all the stuff
- to read the linux-dvb mailing list and now about existing problems
- beeing familiar with CVS, at least the most important knowledge about
how the compiler, linker work, about the kernel structure, about
autoconf/automake tools, shell scripting, sed.
- not beeing a completely newbie maintainer, or beeing a newbie
willing to read debhelper and debconf documentation.
- willing to work with FSF and paranoid flame-warriors. You would have
to push the firmware files into the package, the GPL issues have to
be clarified.
- willing to test the drivers each time when a new kernel version
appears, etc, etc.
- better speaking german to work with VDR and kVDR authors
So if someone would like to adopt dvb*, vdr* and kvdr packages, write to
me and I will give needed infos about the packages. Note that I had also
plans to create a "dvb-setup-tools" package, containing programs needed
to control the signal quality and dump the channel table in useable
formats.
Gruss/Regards,
Eduard.
