[mythtv-users] Testing latest Mythv

[John McEntee]

There has been some discussion that the latest development version of
mythtv does not get tested enough as potential tester are unhappy with
disturbing their "production" backend. I know I am one of the worst
culprits as I am still running 0.24 but I am asking this list. Who would be
willing to test that latest master branch, but does not at the moment
because of some barrier?

I have a plan for my own setup that is going to involved creating a docker
image that I can use to import my master database (script changes to
hostnames etcc.) Then mount the mythtv directories with a union filesystem
(aufs?). This second master could then be used for testing (including
recording with a additional USB tuner / network tunner),without  effecting
the original backend.

Would anyone else use a preconfigured docker image like this for
testing.What are peoples favourite distributions? (aufs not in the main
line kernel so I think only available on the ubuntu docker images, I don't
really know docker yet).

Thanks

John
