[mythtv-users] Current source for .deb files?

[chris at cpr.homelinux.net]

I ran into a problem with my system yesterday, and when I went to 
fix things up I noticed that the debs for MythTV are no longer at 
their old places.

The ftp.nerim.net site no longer has a debian-marillat directory at 
all, while the dijkstra.csh.rit.edu site has only a broken 
"mythtv.old" repository (broken because the paths listed in 
Packages.gz don't work, so you have to download the .deb files and 
install them manually).  All the other directories on dijkstra are 
empty but for a message saying "I don't support MythTV any more".  
The Debian site seems to also have dropped MythTV completely.  I 
can only assume it's because the package hasn't been updated for so 
long it was acting like an anchor and preventing people from 
updating their systems because of obsolete dependencies....

Is there a source for 0.18 or 0.19 debs that works with a 
reasonably modern Debian installation and which includes all of the 
most common dependencies (ffmpeg, transcode, etc.)?

I'm currently running MythTV 0.18.1-5 and haven't been able to 
transcode files for the better part of a year because of broken 
dependencies and bugs.

MythTV would be a LOT more popular if all of the required files 
were available from one source and maintained as a group rather 
than being updated randomly.
