</div>I've never used mythbuntu, much less done a custom build on it. I did<br>
some brief looking around, and it appears that a lot of it is handled<br>
for you. Here is the basic overview I got from here:<br>
<a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=758593" target="_blank">http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=758593</a><br>
<br>
1) apt-get build-dep mythtv<br>
2) apt-get source mythtv<br>
3) apt-get install devscripts<br>
4) dch -i (put some comments in about what you changed. In the version<br>
number, use the old version number plus a +local1 or something<br>
similar. This will make sure that you're version is marked newer, but<br>
that if an even "newer" version came out, you can still get it.<br>
5) Try to apply the patch. If it applies cleanly, unapply it and put<br>
it in debian/patches.<br>
6) Update the debian/patches/00list to include the patch<br>
7) debuild<br>
8) You should get some binaries out.<br>
<br>
Is it really this simple? I don't know. If you'd like, I could try and<br>
give it a shot on my dev box and see how it works. I'm assuming it<br>
won't be too much work for me to do a very basic install of Mythbuntu,<br>
and that I can just get the installer started, let it do its thing,<br>
and then do the patching. I've already taken my Ceton card out of my<br>
dev box and put it in my production system, so I won't be able to do a<br>
full test, but I can compile in the code and see if I get the new code<br>
in mythtv-setup and get the appropriate errors in the backend log<br>
about not being able to connect to the card.<br>

Even though I am a programmer, anything making this more turn key is appreciated. Should we move this to another thread for the sake of others trying to find this info or avoid it.<br>
