Just a thought about some possible "consolidation / elimination of
fragmentation / consistency " meant to benefit the end user. How about
adding to the get_dvb_firmware script (
http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/file/tip/linux/Documentation/dvb/get_dvb_firmware
) a section for:
a) XC5000 firmware
- add a download of the firmware ... "wget
http://www.steventoth.net/linux/xc5000/HVR-12x0-14x0-17x0_1_25_25271_WHQL.zip"
- and actually add/merge Steve's forty_some_line XC5000 firmware
extraction script, "extract.sh" ( presently found here:
http://www.steventoth.net/linux/xc5000/ )
b) XC2028/3208 firmware
- add a download of the firmware ... "wget
http://www.steventoth.net/linux/xc5000/HVR-12x0-14x0-17x0_1_25_25271_WHQL.zip"
- then add a call to Mauro's XC2028/3208 extraction script,
"extract_xc3028.pl" (found here:
http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/file/tip/linux/Documentation/video4linux/extract_xc3028.pl
) for the actual extraction ... all seamless, and behind the scenes).
That way, DVB users would only need know/worry about the one script -->
get_dvb_firmware i.e.:
# path/get_dvb_firmware xc5000
# path/get_dvb_firmware xc3028
Any licensing/distribution point of restriction I'm overlooking?
Nothing mentioned on stoth's site to suggest otherwise.
