Should I only use the mythtv ebuild from now on on backends and frontends? I checked the ChangeLogs and there's no mention of anything that should trigger this behavior, so I'm kinda lost as to what to do. What's really troubling is how it appears that mythfrontend is now *gone* from my systems, from Portage's perspective, but it was never un-emerged... 8| Thanks.

When there's a question.... hey... let's just file a bug!! Rather then ask somewhere... or hey... even look @ the moves file to see it's true... Notice the new USE flag for mythtv... frontendonly... hey... there's your answer. In plain English, YES.
Hey, I was wondering about this as well. I'm sure there are others. No need to be pissy about this. The reporter wasn't confrontational. Just inquisitive.
