I had given up on portage for mythtv but I just checked this out. The myth
plugins are handled differently now. Instead of installing mythmusic,
mythnetvision, etc., you just install the single media-plugins/mythplugins
package and enable the USE flags for the specific plugins you want. That
seems like a much simpler and better method, and closer to how upstream
distributes them. So in order to upgrade you'll probably have to manually
uninstall your media-plugins/myth* packages, set up your USE flags in
/etc/portage/package.use, then upgrade mythtv and install the mythplugins
package.
