Unless the firmware has changed in the last ~90 days, I have had that
installed for quite some time. But I'll recheck just in case. About the 3rd
link down in a poodle search for pcHDTV-3000 firmware, there is a 2 line
script I just ran, and got this response:
[root@coyote src]# cd linux-2.6.31-rc7/Documentation/dvb; perl
./get_dvb_firmware
syntax: get_dvb_firmware <component>
Supported components:
sp8870
sp887x
tda10045
tda10046
tda10046lifeview
av7110
dec2000t
dec2540t
dec3000s
vp7041
dibusb
nxt2002
nxt2004
or51211
or51132_qam
or51132_vsb
bluebird
opera1
cx231xx
cx18
cx23885
pvrusb2
mpc718
So it looks as if I need to further specify it as or51132_vsb for me. So I
did, then did a cmp on the one I have in /lib/firmware vs this one, and they
are indeed identical.
I have a friend who is running MythTV and maybe I can con him into visiting
some night to see if he can help. Might cost me a few bottles of Guiness
though. Maybe I should develop a taste for it, its zero calories and I'm
diabetic. :)
But, to get back to the OP's (me) subject, how to get word to rpmfusion's
people that it is not presently an installable batch of updates due to this
missing dependency, and one who's name in fact makes zero sense. There may
be in fact php-process's but it makes no sense to have such a dependency, it
needs to be based on an actual php process's name. Probably a friggin typu
someplace, but its a showstopper none-the-less when there isn't a readily
available path to the developers involved.
Putting the bz facility behind a login at rpmfusion is the best way yet I've
found to discourage user complaints. I already have 3 sheets of paper taped
to the wall to my left with login/pw combo's written on it, and no room for
more.
RJW has done a truly excellent job of fixing the bz problems up for the linux
kernel, and it seems he should be teaching other admins how to do it.
Who, at rpmfusion, might I email regarding this?
Thanks.
