[mythtv] Debian apt packages

[Robert LeBlanc]

I just found out today that Matt Zimmerman is no longer able to maintain
the Debain packages for MythTV due to time constraints and since he is
no longer using mythtv. Although I don't have a lot of time, I'd hate to
see the packages just die and would be willing to help maintain the
packages. My question to the list is this: Are there other people using
Debian who have experience or a desire to pick up the packages? I would
like to see them become part of the mainstream Debian distro, but I
think some of the underlying components prevent it. I would also need
some support from those who are familiar with the code in case we run
into trouble. Finally, I need to know if there is any desire from the
main programmers if they do not want myth packaged for Debian (not sure
why, but I will ask anyway). I have never maintained a Debain package
before, so if anyone happens to know of real good references, please
e-mail me off list. I was hoping to start with a smaller project, but
the best way to learn is to jump in with both feet right?

 

Thanks,

Robert LeBlanc
