[mythtv-users] IVTV on Gentoo

[Keith Gross]

I simply created a simple ebuild myself and then placed the tar ball from the 
IVTV web site in the distfiles directory of postage.  Make sure teh tarball 
and the ebuild files are named with the same dates. I've included the last 
one I used below.  I'm not sure it's the best but's it's served me well for 
the last 6 months.
