Adding PCTV80e support to linuxtv.

Hello everyone,

Since my repository isn't under the linuxtv.org banner, I'm not sure how to create an actual patch or pull request for the code. It needs some cleanup work, but essentially the code works (for the ATSC portion, but possibly not the QAM portion).

The repository is located at https://github.com/patrickdickey52761/PCTV80e

so I'd imagine that either git clone
git://github.com/patrickdickey52761/PCTV80e or git remote add
git://github.com/patrickdickey52761/PCTV80e will pull the code in for you (it's a public repository).

If this doesn't work, I'm asking for assistance in getting the code into a repository that can be pulled in (or assistance in how to prepare a patch/pull request from my current repository).

If this does work, then I'm asking for assistance in cleanup of the code--and specifics on what I need to do to clean up the code (breaking lines up into fewer than 80 columns, whitespace, etc). One thing to note is that I haven't removed the trailing whitespace from the drxj_map.h file, as it was an automatically generated file. I wasn't sure what implications could arise from altering the file.

Thank you, and have a great day:)
Patrick.

Hi,

I'm not a developer, but I have some basic understanding how v4l patching works.

You don't have to have a repository online, you can simply submit patches from your local tree using git or hg or even diff tools. Patches should come from newer trees (preferably current development tree) so they could apply cleanly.

Please read the following links and see if they could help:
http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Developer_Section
http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Development:_How_to_submit_patches

Thanks for the reply. I've looked through most of the links on those pages, and am almost ready to send the patches. The main problem that I have is that even after rebasing my branch (per the instruction on the media_git.git page), when I do a format patch there are 350+ patches generated (all but the last 29 are from other submitters).

So, I either have to wait for all of those other patches to be added to the master repository, or I need to figure out how to isolate my specific patches from the list (so I can send them).

If you've got any suggestions on that, I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm more new to git than anything else--as most of my programming was in classes, and they don't teach this stuff there.

Have a great day:)
Patrick.

Hello,

don't know the answer, so I am adding list back.

Maybe someone else would know how to synchronize your old tree against current development tree (except by manually cut/paste).
