[mythtv-users] MythTV Raspberry Pi frontend - Tarball by Lawrence Questions

[Curtis Gedak]

First, thank you Lawrence Rust for your work to get mythtfrontend
working on the Raspberry Pi 2.

I am writing a tutorial for using the Raspberry Pi 2 with mythfrontend
and have a couple of questions.

1) Are you planning to release an updated tarball for Raspbian Jessie?
   (E.g. an updated mythtv-v0.27.5-115-g00c0993-RPI2-jessie.tar.bz2)

2) How did you build the Raspbian Jessie tarball for mythtv-v0.27.5?

Using the mythtv_for_rpi.txt instructions dated Jan 30, 2016, I have
successfully cross-compiled your fixes-0.27-rpi git branch on a Debian
Jessie x86 (32 bit) Virtual Machine.

I assume the *mythinstall* directory contains the code to copy to the
RPi2.  However, when I compare with the above mentioned tarball I
noticed that only the *bin*, *lib*, *plugins*, and *share* directories
are included.  Those in addition to some subdirectories, such as perl
and python2.7.  My guess is that these subdirectories might come from
additional plugins, but I am unsure.

Thanks in advance,
