Description of problem: Initial scan tables are not anymore updated in dvb-apps but in dtv-scan-tables: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=697898 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.video-input-infrastructure/59204 http://git.linuxtv.org/dtv-scan-tables.git Therefore the dtv-scan-tables initial scan files should be used instead of the outdated ones in dvb-apps. It will require a package review for a new dtv-scan-tables package.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '17'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
dvb-apps-1.1.2-4.1488.f3a70b206f0f.fc19 does not use update scan tables.
Just a quick FYI, the latest tarball can always be found here: http://linuxtv.org/downloads/dtv-scan-tables/ I will try to keep our git repository as up to date as possible. I also launched a github repository for users to have an easy way to submit updates, though the preferred way is a patch to the linux-media mailing list.
Hey Peter, what is your plan here? IMHO because the scan tables are more likely to be updated, a new package makes sense. If you want, I can create one.
I think a new package along the lines of usb_modeswitch-data makes sense here with a date version to allow quick and regular updates and we just drop the data from this package. I don't have time to package it up at the moment but I'm happy to co-maintain if wanted.
Here is a sketch of a new package: http://paste.fedoraproject.org/25492/92411013/ What is missing: - creating a version or release from %date_hash (the dashes need to be stripped) - License clarification (There are only copies for LGPL and GPL in the tarball, but no indication which files are under which license and which license of both applies) - Somehow the transition needs to be handled, e.g. Requires need to be added to dvb-apps and I am not sure about Conflicts for dtv-scan-tables, I will ask on fedora-packaging
If you search the mailing list, you'll find that I asked about licensing aswell, since the dtv tables are factual data, not licenseable code. It was decided however to keep whatever license was with dvb-apps and assume those contributions where GPLed aswell. I think it's safe to assume, all tables are dual lincensed since it is factual data. The plan initially also was to remove the dtv tables from dvb-apps and that will happen at some point, unfortunatly for now dvb-apps will install last years version, while dtv-scan-tables will be up to date. A makefile should be added aswell in the future to dtv-scan-tables but that's still on my todo as I'm not sure where to go with it yet. I suppose once we need to start generating files it will happen.
Let's ask Fedora legal for their opinion. Btw. it seems to me that the dvb-apps.spec has the wrong license tag, because it says it is GPLv2+ but there are several files with a LGPLv2+ header and no explanation is in the spec file.
I think that's the best course of action since we haven't consulted with any lawyer about legal status. Whatever comes from that will probably applied to the dtv files. Thanks for asking Till.
This bug shouldn't block Fedora Legal. The Review Request bug for the dtv-data package should once the review has been submitted. And add the package review as a blocker for this bug. The license for this package should be updated if the license is wrong and the current data dropped but that doesn't need Fedora Legal to decide.

I brought it up initially here where it didn't get much response initially: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.video-input-infrastructure/55950/focus=59280 Then here some people voiced their opinion. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.video-input-infrastructure/59288/focus=59304
dtv-scan-tables is ready for inclusion into Fedora. If you do not mind I will prepare an update for dvb-apps to use the new package and ensure that proper conflicts are set in dtv-scan-tables. I will target F19, F20 and Rawhide if you do not object.
I have no problems with you pushing the changes but I would prefer if it baked in rawhide for a few weeks before pushing it out to stable releases.
(In reply to Peter Robinson from comment #14) > I have no problems with you pushing the changes but I would prefer if it > baked in rawhide for a few weeks before pushing it out to stable releases. The update is now in Rawhide for a while, I will proceed with the stable releases soon if you do not object.
Fine by me
