Hi Sylvain,
thanks for you thorough look into the state of the LDPC encoder/decoder.
I just skip the long text of wall and answer your questions from my
point of view:

I personally would like to see the FEC module cleaned up a bit. There is also a
viterbi decoder in gr-trellis which would be perfectly fine in gr-fec
and using the gr-fec API. Maybe even porting in the specialized LDPC for
gr-dtv would be possible for the parameters used in gr-dtv. (which does
not mean you have to do so)
> (2) Is completely breaking the API of those blocks acceptable ?
For post-3.8 releases breaking the API for these blocks (and integrating
them into the FEC API if they're not already there would be a big plus)

Looking at M4RI is available in Ubuntu, Fedora and is probably easy to
add to other Linux distributions/Windows etc etc.
It is "only" a math library and has no dependencies beside libc.
Cheers
Andrej
