Hehe, I'm taken a bit back, thanks for remembering :) I'm actually not
the first, technically, Jeff Mock laid the original foundations for the
work I did.
Wow, people sure did get defensive after my post. I didn't mean it as a
threat, as I really don't see why anyone would care if I use one program
or another. I actually sent that post with a bit of a broken heart as
I've been such an avid fan of MythTV, and /did/ sumbit a bug fix now and
again /years/ ago when it was a lot more buggy and unstable of a system.
But I am at a personal crossroadds and wanted advise in helping make a
decision as I've not followed the lists closely for ages and wanted to
see why the normal stream of newer versions stopped, and what expect
down the pipeline. I did skim the last large number of posts, and found
nothing that stood out, so I posted.
And I did get a couple people saying that SVN was working reasonably
well, and to give it a shot, so I will. My hessitation in not just
trying it out is that the newer versions made DB changes which are a bit
of a pain to undo, making it a bit harder to roll back to a previous
version.
Thanks,
