Well, if the goal is to release a vdr-1.6.1 version,
I suggest to first collect further patches needed to compile it on recent 
systems:
* compiling with gcc-4.4 and glibc-2.10: fixing some variable const issues and 
some other warnings
* compiling against linux-headers with s2api (api version 5)

The gentoo versions of these patches are attached.
The gcc-4.4 patch is based on Ludwig Nussels version plus improvments of 
Klaus. The last const_cast is replaced by using the fileName member of 
cRecording as cRecordings is a friend class.

I don't know if more fixes are floating around that need to be applied.

Regards
Matthias

The patch vdr-dvb-api-5-is-fine.diff is not a proper "fix" iirc.

Ok, so where is the problem, and how should a proper fix look like?
