 Built debs locally using mythtv/packaging/deb/  and installed mythtv.

 Basics work, channel scanning (HD HomeRun Quattro) Live TV, Recordings.

 mythweb does not work, something to do with mysql 8 in focal.

 mythtv user has been created with default of caching_sha2_password
 {{{
 mysql> select host,user,plugin from user where user="mythtv";
 +------+--------+-----------------------+
 | host | user   | plugin                |
 +------+--------+-----------------------+
 | %    | mythtv | caching_sha2_password |
 +------+--------+-----------------------+
 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
 }}}
 Confirmed my suspicion by manually changing user mythtv in mysql
 {{{
 ALTER USER 'mythtv'@'%' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'password
 from /etc/mythtv/config.xml';
 }}}
 and rebooting, after which mythweb works.

 I believe mc.sql (in mythtv) and mythtv-database.postinst need changing
 for mysql 8 to make sure  mysql_native_password  is used, alternatively
 fix mythweb so it works with caching_sha2_password or
 mysql_native_password (I have no idea on how to do this!).


 Note: trac needs updating to allow Version v31-fixes to be selected.
