I did write this in al the mail/logs.

Glad you found it, even the most experienced programmers can sometimes do
wrong things, I do too after 2009-1976=33 years of programming. (intel 4040)

In process.

What rants?
The way you like Mandriva. hmmmmmmmm

It was Mandrake, a man spitting fire into nowhere?
It was Connectiva, nothing connecting outside Brasil?
So they joined to Mandriva but the correct name should be
ConDrake, the connecting part and a drake in doing the rest.

Just LOL. :)

This is the source of the gv4l problem too.
The 8.04 team did use a older v4l2 package and the 8.10 a newer version.
I did not say they created the videodev themself as Garret suggest I do.

gcc silence sounds bad. But to be safe I also take notice of compiler warnings.
It gives a sign of possible bad/unexperience programming practice too.
For home projects not so important but as distributed opensource???

And again I forgot to remark the bad lines in gv4l2.c so the make.log in 2 files.
