-Late in 2003 the idea to create a simple DVB library from the code snippets
-in the test/utility programs was discussed on the linux-dvb mailing list.
-Hopefully someone will invest some time in this project to turn the idea into
-reality...
-
-Here is an outline of what libdvb2 should be, according to my recollection:
-(For first hand information search the linux-dvb list archives for "libdvb2".)
-
-- C
-- small: The goal is to make the library usable in *any* DVB project, which
- is easier if the library sticks to the basics. Advanced stuff can be
- done in a second library. What exacty "basic" and "advanced" means
- is subject of discussion, but I want avoid to impose a certain programming
- model (e.g. multi-threaded vw. event-loop) on users of the library.
-- a prime target is to establish a standard DVB config and service list
- format, to make this sharable between different applications
-- LGPL
-
-About the name: There already is a libdvb written by the Metzler Bros.,
-but the main drawback is that it is written in C++ and thus rejected
-by many projects.
