compiling, maybe you ought to<br>
rethink your choice of CentOS for MythTV also. I.e.
apply the right<br>
tool to the job at hand.<br>
<br>

I'd have to agree with this. I just don't see
something like MythTV<br>
as the target audience for something like CentOS.<br>
<br>
Now, if you were going to run CentOS as a host and
then run something<br>
like a MythTV appliance distro in a container
underneath it, then I'd<br>
be saying that you're more in the target audience for
CentOS. Then<br>
again, if hosting diverse containers is your goal,
then something like<br>
CoreOS could be better still. CentOS is a bit more
about stability<br>
and supportability than having a rich package
database, especially for<br>
things like multimedia.<br>
<br>

What exactly do you two mean by this? MythTV is the
target or CentOS is the target? Of what?<br>
<br>
I happen to host MythTV on CentOS. Finding the right
repo for packages has been a problem. It was ATrpms. And
now that some of the users have stepped up it still is.<br>
<br>
Why does it sound like the stability of Red Hat/CentOS
is a *bad* thing for you? It sounds like you want to
target the ever shifting sands of something like Fedora.
A distro that demands updating once or twice a year.

<div>This is exactly why I switched from Fedora to
CentOS. I was growing tired of the constantly evolving
baseline that required me to keep up or get left behind.
I wanted something more stable.</div>

<div>What version of CentOS are you on? What source are you
using for RPMs or are you compiling?</div>

<div>My 24.3 mythbackend is currently on a CentOS 5 host. I
have a nice well built CentOS 6 host sitting next to it
that I plan on first migrating to and then upgrading.
There is an ATrpms user that has provided some updated
MythTV packages. Can't remember if they are 26 or 27.</div>

Whoops, posted without following Gary's instructions. Reposting with
new subject. Would still love to hear your answer Larry.<br>
<br>
The ATrpms user who is compiling 27.3 has their packages here:<br>
