I've been using the Gentoo ebuilds from github for 0.25_1 until they<br>
broke. How do I swap over to using the portage variants?<br>
<br>
I've tried removing the pointer to /usr/local/mythtv_portage/Gentoo from<br>
my /etc/make.conf file but I get conflicts on the currently installed<br>
plugins. Do I have to un-install first or is there a direct upgrade method<br>
when swapping ebuilds?<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>

Instead of installing mythmusic, mythnetvision, etc., you just install the single media-plugins/mythplugins package and enable the USE flags for the specific plugins you want. That seems like a much simpler and better method, and closer to how upstream distributes them. So in order to upgrade you'll probably have to manually uninstall your media-plugins/myth* packages, set up your USE flags in /etc/portage/package.use, then upgrade mythtv and install the mythplugins package.<br>
