[mythtv-users] MythTV integration with Pluto ? Changing MythTV version/s

[Buzz]

FYI, for those that didn't know, the pluto open-source code and development
site for pluto is found at: http://plutohome.org/     The
http://www.plutohome.com/ is their comercial
buy-a-pluto-installation-from-us website.      

>From what I've read on their site,  the following extracts are relevant to
using a different myth from the one they integrate (eg updating to 0.18.1
for HDTV):

	"You really need to use our own distribution because..." (based on
debian sarge)
	"We built \"wrappers\" for all of them"
	"If you use the vanilla packages from, say Fedora, none of that will
work"

However, they also say:
	"In very rare cases, we need to make our own version of a package
that replaces the one in Debian. But we avoid that whenever possible, and
instead will re-work our wrappers so that we can stay current with the
"stock" version. Any such changes are trivial, and therefore you should see
no difference between Pluto's Debian mirror and the official one."

(all quotes from pages on either plutohome.org or plutohome.com).

PS, I've only just discovered pluto, but it looks pretty amazing, I think
must try it out. :-)
