[mythtv-users] protocol version mismatch, what's the best solution?

[Mario Limonciello]

Also,

I have chosen to abandon the broken versioning scheme that I was using
previously.  I'm tracking the same versioning for the packages that I'm
sending up to edgy.

For most people this will mean having to "force" the version that is on my
repo.  Sorry for the confusion here, but it will help guarantee a smooth
upgrade to edgy later if you force the right version now.  Shouldn't be any
more of this happening from this point forward.
