mytharchive ebuild?

Art Vandalay · Posted: Sat Aug 05, 2006 1:13 am Post subject: mytharchive ebuild?

is there any chance that an ebuild for mytharchive will come anytime soon for gentoo? or is someone working on an ebuild?

it looks and sounds like a huge improvement on mythburn and i really dont want to risk messing with my working mythbox by installing non ebuilds. but in saying that i think mytharchive is becoming one of the more popular mythtv add ons.

Oh, my bad, I meant 0.19.1 is supposed to be released soon.

http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/roadmap

I have no idea if its planned for inclusion or not, though. I'd have to poke around.

Fixes releases aren't going to get official releases, since they apply fixes all the way up to the next release. It's been posted on myth-dev that it's up to distributions to make snapshot releases of 19.1 available. They are in 'wrap-up mode' for 0.20 however, so the next release is expected in the next month or two.

Also, mytharchive got moved into the standard mythplugins branch today, so making an ebuild might even be a little bit easier.

@drescherjm: Yes, please!

It looks like a bug has been open for quite a while now

https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=132547

At least post what you have and people can start tweaking on it.

A couple things I forgot to mention. Since mytharchive requires the svn version of mythtv my script updates the plugins, mythtv and the themes. And I have bump ebuilds for all the programs affected.

I posted a super-basic ebuild on the bug page: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=132547

The ebuild might work if MythArchive were part of the mythplugins-0.19 tarball, but since it's not, someone more knowledgeable than myself is going to need to take a look. Basically all I did was fill in the dependency info based on the versions that are available in portage, but hey, every little bit helps, right?

It's not just the mytharchive that you need an ebulid for. Actually you need to download the entire source for mythplugins, myththemes and mythtv from the subversion sources and you need to bump the ebuilds for everything in myth so that all plugins, themes and mythtv itself all have the same verson. Mythtv will not load plugins that differ in version and I do not mean 0.19 vs 0.18. For example 0.19.20060708-1 is the version of mythtv that I am using. Also for mytharchive to install the mythtv.eclass file needs to be modifyied so that it installs the same way as all othe plugins. I am actually currently working on all of this right at the moment...

Ok, I got my mytharchive to compile with only one simple modification of my ebuild (remove a patch I created to stop mytharchive from reencoding to 720x480). Now I am testing the rest of the packages.

After that I need to find the best way to release this as I don't believe posting like 20 files a single bug report at bugs.gentoo.org is good behavior...

Thanks! And with documentation to go with it too!

[Edit]Of course, now that you've posted, I just figured out that my hacked up svn ebuilds are working now that mytharchive has been moved to the mythplugins branch...[/Edit]

If I upgrade my server to this SVN release will it be able to serve 0.19 clients? I noted that there is some sort of database change associated with 0.20.

I have a diskless front-end which will not be nearly as easy to upgrade as gentoo (I'd need to cross-compile for EPIA and build a new root filesystem for it). Plus, I'm in production. On the other hand, I have a patch to put an icon on the program list for whether the preserve flag is set and I wouldn't mind having early access to that...

Most likely not, they need to be the same version of the myth protocol. It's currently at version 30 and there's been a few bumps up since the 0.19 release.
