Trying to make MythTV maintenance easier on myself since I couldn't |
| 30 |
find a maintainer. Upstream changed to SVN a long while back and with |
| 31 |
that changed moved all the plugins into one bundle called mythplugins. |
| 32 |
They've now switched to git and with that change I decided to |
| 33 |
modernize a little bit. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
mythtv.git a few top level directories, each of which is packaged as |
| 36 |
its own tarball which makes backporting patches extra fun. The |
| 37 |
mythplugins tarball (mythtv.git/mythplugins) contains additional |
| 38 |
plugins that are found in different git repos. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
They're still unique snowflakes with their git usage. |
