I had forgotten to mention that i had downloaded and manually installed a
couple older versions, and tried my best to remove all traces of them
before trying your ebuild files, and had managed to remove most of
everything. that dir was still left over (although empty) and i knew it
would look for the file there so thats where i put it :)
fyi /usr/share/mythtv has very little in it, just the mysql.txt that i
put there, a 'database' dir with mc.sql in it, and an empty dir for
each plugin (mythdvd-cvs, mythgame-cvs, etc).

I must admit that i have never been able to unmask ebuilds like this,
even with messing with the accept keywords and such so i gave up along
time ago and just merge the ebuild file directly.

ok, that makes sense.

But I'm 99% sure that it should work exactly like the 0.13 ebuilds. Why? Because nothing has changed and the only difference is the files will be fetched from CVS instead of a release ebuild.

well I was gonna work on it tonight, but i just trashed the root
filesystem on that box so i guess i will spend the next couple days
reinstalling gentoo instead. oh well, it needed an upgrade anyway :)
