[mythtv-users] Scheduling problems (SQL errors) on newMythTV installation ...

As the guy that was bitten by this:

How about replacing the 0.19 download with a README file that points to 
http://svn.mythtv.org/trac?

The bottom line is that 0.19 is pretty problematic.  I installed using that 
because I figured it was the latest stable version, and that's not the case.

Now, it wasn't a big deal to fetch 0-19-fixes and rebuild.  Pretty trivial, 
actually.  But, no doubt, it would have been a time saver for me (and the 
list) if the 0.19 tarball just contained a single README file telling me 
what to do.

The reason I didn't install a package:

1) The FC4 package installed some 80+ packages.  I had FC5, and I wasn't 
sure if that crud was needed or not in my environment.  I also didn't know 
if the FC4 stuff would even run on FC5,

2) On my brand new FC5 system, I wanted a clear idea of what was being 
installed, and why.  It's an infrastructure server for my home, and I'd like 
it to work reliabily (and understand what's there, and why).

As I went through it, other than the basic DEV packages, I only needed to 
install 2-3 other things.  And *all* of it was available directly on the FC5 
DCD (except for ivtv).  Frankly, it was relatively easy to build from 
source.

The fact that the source tarball was problematic is unfortunate.  But thank 
goodness for the good folks on the myth-users list, whom were so very 
helpful for me!  Thank you!
