Description:
The dvbhddevice plugin implements a VDR output device for the "Full
Featured TechnoTrend S2-6400" DVB cards. This package is being split
out of the existing vdr Fedora package, where it has been carried as
a bundled subpackage, into a standalone independently maintainable
plugin package.

The companion change to remove dvbhddevice from vdr.spec is pending
as a pull request against the vdr dist-git and must land before or
together with this new package:

  https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/vdr/pull-request/3

The plugin uses vdr(abi) versioned Requires, so it is automatically
ABI-gated and will only install alongside a compatible VDR build.

A working COPR build (fedora-44-x86_64 and fedora-rawhide-x86_64)
is available at:

For FSF address, what is needed is to let upstream know about the change.  Ideally, make a pull request
to make it easier for upstream to integrate. See https://gnu.mirrorservice.org/Licenses/gpl-2.0.txt for
updated text.

Unfortunately, the repository is hosted on Bitbucket.org, which has no issue tracker, and an account is required to initiate a pull request. I chose the alternative approach and contacted the author, Andreas Regel, directly by email.

This is the latest version:

https://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.txt

Since I have already corrected the address in the COPYING file, this should not be a blocker.
