Hey everyone, I was wondering who is maintaining the Mythtv packages for gnome's software tools. I understand that the packages are UI independent but I have questions about the install process i.e. there didn't seem to be a "root" mythtv package like there is in search tool \ webpin. Any way thanks for the packages. P.S. is anyone interested in discussing a "homeserver" \ "Media center" build pattern?

well, unfortunately a no-go for mythtv, unless you find a way to strip ffmpeg from mythtv ... see also: http://en.opensuse.org/Application_Black_List

Even if there was a way to strip ffmpeg from it, I would question the value of such crippled package.

well, that's a ffmpeg problem ... I was merely thinking about linking against a common ffmpeg package as a shared library, but since every other package comes with it's own private copy of that, possibly even with different patches on top of arbitrary cvs/svn checkouts of ffmpeg it's not really doable.

how about an "add-on" ISO hosted at opensuse-communty? a completely scripted install with all the third party "unmentionables" and lircd.conf and lircrc file generators. Automate the mythtv user and set the frontend to startup, etc,etc.
