[mythtv-users] Mythtv build from source on Fedora 40

[James Abernathy]

This question is about learning how stuff works.  I normally use either
Debian 12 or Ubuntu 22.04 for mythtv related activities.

However, with the temperature outside at 98 degrees with high humidity, I
thought I'd spend some quality time indoors learning stuff.

TL:DR. I built and created a working mythtv BE/FE combo. The Web App got me
configured.

Details and question:

I spun up a VM with Fedora 40 and since I don't understand very much about
packaging in Fedora, I followed the Build from source - mythtv wiki.
Ansible installed the dependencies without a hitch.  The make -j 5 worked
fine building v34.

The sudo make install worked but I noticed a WARNING in the console log.

WARNING: Running pip as the 'root' user can result in broken permissions
and conflicting behaviour with the system package manager. It is
recommended to use a virtual environment instead:
https://pip.pypa.io/warnings/venv

Is this something that should be ignored or could bad things happen with
mythtv in the future?
