        Automated Weekly MythTV Trunk Builds
        Explanation
        Also, there have been requests for trunk builds of mythtv. Many
        users opt to use trunk for features only available in
        development versions. It is also a good way to help with MythTV
        testing. Please note that these builds are not as optimized as
        regular builds to make it easier to debug them, so you may run
        into performance problems. By using the trunk builds, you
        sacrifice the stability afforded by a regular release cycle. If
        you are currently on a regular release, backup your MySQL
        database prior to enabling trunk builds. There is no returning
        to regular releases after enabling trunk. The trunk repository
        is usually built from the SVN trunk. When a major release branch
        is created for an upcoming release, trunk is changed to follow
        that branch. When it's released it is changed back to trunk.


Also, on the relationship between Ubuntu and Mythbuntu, and what part is
what, I would seriously consider reading the following post, as you
sound confused:
