Per <http://linpvr.org/minimyth/>, it is "MythTV
<http://www.mythtv.org/> 0.21.0 with fixes
<http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/browser/branches/release-0-21-fixes> through
SVN 16483".
Also, there is a version of MiniMyth with MythTV 0.20.2 + fixes.
To be sure that everything works correctly, you should use the exact
same MythTV versions on all you hosts. However, you should be able to
use it with
<http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/browser/branches/release-0-21-fixes>. In
addition, if you are using packages, then you should be able to using
MiniMyth with any MythTV 0.21 packages. I use MiniMyth on my frontends
and ATrpms' MythTV packages on my backend.
