   Bug#1128184: dov4l: Do we need dov4l in    
   16 Feb 26 09:00:01   
   
   From: tille@debian.org   
      
   Source: dov4l   
   Version: 0.9+repack-1   
   Severity: important   
   X-Debbugs-Cc: Debian VDR Team ,

   Hi,   
      
   I realised that the homepage for dov4l vanished (and thus thus uscan   
   fails to find a new upstream).  The last upstream release seems from   
   nearly 20 years ago, last upload by maintanierc was in 2013.   
      
   As far as I know (which is admittedly pretty less thus v4l maintainer   
   and VDR team in CC) for modern systems you generally replace dov4l with   
   the v4l tooling stack and higher level frameworks.  Please let me know   
   if it might be worth keeping dov4l in Debian.  I would volunteer to   
   migrate the packaging to Salsa to have at least one source repository   
   of the code somewhere.   
      
   Kind regards   
       Andreas.
