Re: [libdv-dev] Lib status of libdv.

Hi Daniel,

I'm sorry for not responding to your message sooner.  I thought I was
almost done with some changes to the API.  Now after several days, I
finally finished them off and put them in libdv CVS.

I think we're reasonably close to something that might be packaged.

I use RedHat, some I'm not able to help with .debs.  I'm not aware of
anybody else doing it.

Building as a shared lib shouldn't be a big deal.  I'd had a bad
experience with the autotools around the time we started libdv, so I
decided to stick with plain Makefile.  It probably wouldn't be a big
deal to convert to autotools.
