Robert, correct me if I'm wrong, but the
mythtv-buildrebuild.py pulls the latest tarball from github,
specifically to ignore the latest ebuilds sitting on github
which can be days or weeks outdated. The script currently
only seems to work for pulling the latest mythtv tarball (and
I would guess related packages like mythgallery etc, except
mythweb) but doesn't work for mythweb. As such, it creates an
out-of-sync condition which led to my thinking that I had a
defect. So in one sense, we 'appear' to have a 'defect' with
the script since I can't effectively update the entire system
to the latest set of commits with it, while I'll admit on the
otherhand we have an enhancement request to make the script
work with mythweb. </blockquote>

Thanks for the reply, a couple of follow-up questions:<br>

<div>The scripts don't touch mythweb at all, they only concern
themselves with MythTV and the plugins themselves. The author
of the script expects you to simply check out mythweb rather
than expect it to be packaged. <br>
</div>

Would one say that it is counter-intuitive to have one part use
ebuild while the other part has to to svn checkouts? I know the
script is for convenience and we're thankful to the author for that,
but would it not be best to cover the whole set of mythtv packages?<br>

So do we consider this script official or unofficial?<br>

I'm not familiar enough with github to know what hash to put to
achieve this. Advise? <br>
