Dear libdvbpsi developers,

In January a mail went out to all libdvbpsi developers requesting
their agreement for a switch to LGPLv2.1 (from GPL). All
of you agreed for which Christophe Massiot and my thanks. Before
making this license change there are a couple of things
I would like to cleanup. As from libdvbpsi release 1.0 the license
will be in LGPLv2.1.

There are some things that I want to bring to your attention:

1) move to git repository
I want to replace the libdvbpsi subversion repository with a git based
repository.
- One reason for this change is that it fits better in my work-flow..
- Another is that it would aid other people to keep their patches
better separated.

Any objections?

2)
libdvbpsi uses debug macros that end up doing printf() on the console.
Since libdvbpsi is mostly used as library, this is IMHO not wanted. I
want to replace this by either:
a) a log callback with the message from the DEBUG macros as argument, or
b) make them only available for testing (maintainer) and basically
remove them from --enable-debug (and --enable-release)

Any comments/objections?

Kind Regards,

Jean-Paul Saman
