Quoting Simon Crute <scrute@novell.com>:

Hi All,

A short while ago, (as a personal project) I hacked around with the fedora mythTV packages on atpms to create some packages that would compile into syse9.3. (I was also trying to create an easy suse9.3 myttv howto, but I've ran out of time for these things at the moment) These are currently on ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/9.3-i386/RPMS.suser-scrute

When I get the chance, I'll try to do that for suse10 too, but I thought I'd stick a general email here incase there's anyone else working on any similar projects to get myth onto suse10 ........

I'm not sure if hacking the atrpms .srpms is the way to go, or if starting from scratch would be better. Still. It's one way to learn about packaging :-) (but perhaps not the best ? )

I was planning on starting from scratch this weekend - it's my first time writing RPMs, so I've got a long weekend ahead of me. I still need to get SUSE 10.0 installed on my box - I don't know how well ivtv and SUSE 10 will play together. Last time I tried the latest version of ivtv on SUSE 9.3, nothing worked right, and I had to roll back ivtv a few versions. I was going to host the RPMs on some unused university webspace that the school has given me, and host all other necessary RPMs for a full install of MythTV (so you could add it as a source and download with apt or YaST). It'll probably be time for a new revision to the guide - I wrote a howto for SUSE 9.2/9.3 at http://www.homerengineeringcorp.net/mythtv . The first HOWTO I wrote was incredibly long (11 steps for everything, and because of a problem with tuner support, I ended up addinng a kernel-install guide as well), but I was able to get a MythTV install on SUSE 9.3 down to around 5 or 6 steps. Maybe we could work together on this. I'd appreciate any help writing the actual RPMs.... -Chris
