Ryan, |
| 11 |
I'm surprised you want to take up bandwidth on the list for this. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
1) MythTV-0.18-X works but has stability issues so the backend server |
| 14 |
needed to be upgraded to 0.19-X. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
2) MythTV frontends must match the backend so the remote frontend, of |
| 17 |
which these two Pundit-R boxes are, must be updated. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
3) The Pundit-R machines use xor-x11-6.8.2-r1. Unfortunately for me |
| 20 |
the maintainers have removed it from portage. I'm stuck in a masking |
| 21 |
issue to keep it working. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
4) Unfortunately many of the parts of MYthTV-0.19-X seems to be asking |
| 24 |
for xorg-x11-6.9 or higher. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
With all of that I figured I might as well try to get to a new |
| 27 |
kernel, new ati-driver and new xorg-x11 along with a new MythTV and |
| 28 |
new mysql. The Gentoo devs/maintainers have a right to stop |
| 29 |
maintaining all the old revs but I DESPERATELY wish they would create |
| 30 |
an graveyard for old ebuilds that folks in my situation could download |
| 31 |
and place in my overlay. I cannot find some of these ebuilds and this |
| 32 |
newish policy has created a heck of a lot of extra work for me. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Unless there is something constructive to be said please don't |
| 35 |
bring this stuff to the lists. We don't need emails as a way to send |
| 36 |
nothing but smiley's. Have a beer instead. Thanks. |
| 37 |

Cheers, |
