Hi,

my idea was to write a script that uses any remote repository and 
updates the ebuilds based on this. Afterwards an archive should be 
created and saved in DISTDIR. Unfortunately some problems came up since 
all the host-server software (github, gitweb, etc) creates the archives 
in a different way. Hence I canceled this idea for the time being and 
implemented the script in a different way and the build scripts expect 
the github archive.

My current script uses either a local clone of the mythtv repo or clones 
it from github to get all necessary information. It can be find on 
github (https://github.com/Olti/packaging) on the "devel/ebuildScript 
branch.

It currently supports the following commandline parameters:

-b        branch to use (default: master)
-p        prefix to use (default: pre for master and p for fixes/0.xy)
-l         location of the local copy of mythtv repo or location where 
to store cloned one (default: /tmp)

Please be aware that the script is not completely finished yet and it's 
not idiot proof. Nevertheless it can be used to create 0.25 and 0.26pre 
ebuilds.

I'll continue developing this script and hence any valuable input is 
welcome.

Regards,
Christian
