woohoo!! i'm gonna "emerge sync" right now!
didnt you also write an ebuild for the nuppelvideo patched mplayer too?
or was that someone else? ahh no that was someone else on this list but
unfortunately it was an older release of mplayer
oh and btw, i did post your cvs info earlier you can see the thread if
you search the forum archives for 'ebuilds' or something...
and whomever takes care of the myth documentation should update the docs
and webpage to indicate the new gentoo install procedures:
$ emerge xmltv
$ emerge mythtv
$ emerge mythweather
and so on...
as long as they use emerge the whole QTDIR thing is a non-issue.
all the perl dependencies like Date::Manip, etc. will be pulled down
when they emerge xmltv i believe...
they should note that mysql.txt is in /etc/mythtv/
(/usr/share/mythtv/mysql.txt is just a symlink to it) and
/etc/conf.d/mythbackend file should be checked to make sure the values
dont require editing.
thanks Max!
