Description Mark Knecht 2006-07-02 12:52:09 UTC
Please, please, please (I'm begging here) please put mythtv-0.18.1 back into portage? Why does this have to be removed?

lightning portage # eix mythtv
* media-tv/mythtv
     Available versions:  [M]0.19_p9163-r1 [M]0.19_p10281
     Installed:           0.18.1-r1
     Homepage:            http://www.mythtv.org/
     Description:         Homebrew PVR project

The shift to 0.19 is a BIG shift as 0.18 & 0.19 are not compatible with each other. I have a network of 6 machines running the 0.18 series so this move forces me to either start masking things, or building from source outside of Gentoo or other things I'd far rather not do.

Please put it back. I beg you. Gentoo, among other things is about choice. Why have the maintainers of MythTV removed my choice?
