 What exactly do you two mean by this? MythTV is the target or CentOS is
the target? Of what?

 I happen to host MythTV on CentOS. Finding the right repo for packages
has been a problem. It was ATrpms. And now that some of the users have
stepped up it still is.

Why does it sound like the stability of Red Hat/CentOS is a *bad* thing
for you? It sounds like you want to target the ever shifting sands of
something like Fedora. A distro that demands updating once or twice a
year. 

This is exactly why I switched from Fedora to CentOS. I was growing
tired of the constantly evolving baseline that required me to keep up or
get left behind. I wanted something more stable. 

What version of CentOS are you on? What source are you using for RPMs or
are you compiling? 

My 24.3 mythbackend is currently on a CentOS 5 host. I have a nice well
built CentOS 6 host sitting next to it that I plan on first migrating to
and then upgrading. There is an ATrpms user that has provided some
updated MythTV packages. Can't remember if they are 26 or 27.
