</div>Just to be clear, I'll be providing custom code (so you can patch and<br>
build it yourself), not a custom precompiled build (not sure what<br>
would be involved in doing that).<br>
<br>
I should have it available in the next few days. As far as I can tell,<br>
everything is working fine. The last 2 problems I was aware of seem to<br>
be solved. One (the occasional tuning failures) was fixed with code<br>
changes, and the other (generating bad previews) appears to have been<br>
the result of a bug in some system library, as it went away as soon as<br>
I upgraded to debian 6.0.2.1. Earlier this week, I set the system to<br>
record 80 programs over the course of 12 hours and it completed<br>
without any problems. Right now I'm rebuilding/upgrading my production<br>
system (it was still running 0.22, on an older version of 32-bit<br>
debian). Once that's all set and I can test it out a bit more, I'll<br>
post the code and instructions.<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><br>Tom Bongiorno wrote:<br>"If you can fit it in, that would be great. One thing I don't have is
