With rapidly changing grabbers you might want to run the development version of xmltv on your system. Here's how to do this on Unix/Linux. The instructions work on Windows / Mac OS X etc. if you have a suitable development environment installed. (e.g. Mingw on Windows)
Setup CVS to sane defaults
Add a .cvsrc file to your home directory ($HOME/.cvsrc) to set some sane defaults for CVS to not clobber the disk and screen with useless stuff.
cvs -q diff -u update -Pd checkout -P
Get the Source
Get the latest version of the source code, preferably by checking it out from the central repository (it's easier to stay up to date that way)
- either download the source from http://snapshot.xmltv.org
- or checkout via cvs as described over at sourceforge
% cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@xmltv.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/xmltv co -P xmltv
Build from Source
As seen at http://xmltv.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/xmltv/xmltv/README
Basic installation instructions (Linux/Unix):
% perl Makefile.PL % make % make test % make install
To install in a custom directory, replace the first line with something like
% perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/wherever/
If you want to write over whatever your package manager has installed for you set the PREFIX to whatever has been used in the package, to find out use which:
% which tv_cat /usr/bin/tv_cat
Use whatever is in front of /bin/tv_cat as PREFIX, in this case that would be
% perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/usr
Test your Grabber
If you just updated or change the grabber you can test it by running the following commands in the source tree.
% make % grab/test_grabbers --only uk_rt
Prepare a Patch
If you changed the source code of the grabber you can sum up the changes to submit back.
% cvs -q diff > ~/a-nice-name-summarizing-your-changes.patch
