VDR4Arch is a set of VDR packages for Arch Linux.
Our goal is it to combine the feature-richness of VDR with the bleeding edge design of Arch Linux. This repository also contains some "non VDR" tools that may be used with VDR (minisatip) or as substitute to VDR (tvheadend).
The provided (and autobuilt) VDR version is always the latest stable version. For self-compiling of "development versions" you can use the provided "vdr-git" PKGBUILD which builds from an "unofficial" VDR GIT repository which contains the official development versions including official VDR patches.
All VDR and other media packages are developed here and synced automatically over to AUR, so please file issues and pull requests here. If your changes/requests are accepted by the VDR4Arch team, then your change appears on AUR automatically.
Installing Archlinux is not a big deal. Just follow this Installation Guide https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installation_Guide
We don't need many different partitions on VDR systems. In most cases a single / (root)
partiton is enough. If you want to separate the system from your recordings
mount another partition to /srv/vdr/video

You miss something and you want us to add it. No problem!
File an issue, please. But be aware that we don't want to add more patches to the VDR package.
