[mythtv] i've put ebuilds for cvs version of myth andassociated modules up on the web

[Ben de Luca (bedel)]

I am familiar with gentoo, in fact I run it as well . There are ebuilds 
of a lot of dvb stuff that I use with myth on bugs.gentoo.org waiting 
for some one to look at.

Plus you can remove that cruft with a make dist clean  too and by 
installing to /usr/local you cant hurt the gentoo controlled areas. 
Some of the benifts you get from just using cvs are the decreased load 
you put on the cvs servers just diffing new changes and build times are 
much smaller only building changes that make finds are necessary. Does 
the ebuild take advantage of this point?
