Thank you very much for the response.  Unfortunately, I was afraid someone
would say that.  I am not exactly sure how to do that.  I could easily allow
Mythbuntu to update my backend to the same binaries as my frontends, but
that would undo Ron Frazier's Ceton source code patch.  Also, following
Ron's instructions doesn't seem to get me source as new as my frontends.  I
am not very familiar with how all this works, so I am a little in the dark.
 Do you or anyone else have any suggestions on how to apply Ron's Ceton
patch to the latest Mythbuntu updates repos source code?

Thanks again.
