I guess I'm having a hard time explaining myself, so I'm going to stop  
trying. I understand the what mythbuntu is. I understand what ubuntu  
is. I also understand that Automated Weekly MythTV Trunk Builds are  
NOT automated weekly trunk builds and have not been since development  
switched over to the QT4 dependency. Please stop giving this advice.  
It doesn't work.
