Re: [linux-dvb] Organizing ALL device data in linuxtv wiki

Hi Jan, In order to ease the maintenance work I have started to include direkt links from the device's entry in the wiki to the source repository's history of the driver. E.g. In the entry for Avermedia AverTV A800 you'll see "Supported in kernel since 2.6.13". Now the word "kernel" is a hype

Would it be possible to store this information in the CODE archives, and extract it from there ? Right now, I end up putting essentially the same information into structures in the driver and into documentation. This is hard to keep synchronised. Basic information like device IDs, vendors, demo
