Yes, I'm running Mythbuntu, although my myth packages are from JYA's release
repository.
I'm admittedly ignorant of most of what bug 8556 is saying though... for
educational purposes can you clarify a bit?
1) How do the mythbuntu packages force you to use dbus?
2) Is the dbus shutdown brokenness due to myth, or to something else in the
mythbuntu environment?
3) Looks like the fix in 8556 is a patch to configure... isn't configure
only used at compile time? Are you saying that the packages themselves are
broken because when they were built configure didn't detect something
correctly on the packager's system?
4) "If you have no configuration option to set what Shutdown does" implies
that other people have such configuration options. Is this a side effect of
a bad build due to configure doing the wrong thing, or are they just missing
a script the database is pointing to (or similar)?
Thanks again,
