mythtv is trying to pull in the ivtv ebuild which doesn't work with kernels >= 2.6.22. The kernel now includes that driver Reproducible: Always
the ivtv package 1.0 still contains utilities and such for the 2.6.22 kernel. Since there's 0 way to do deps based on the kernel you're running, this won't be addressed until 2.6.22 goes stable.

I was trying to pull in mythtv with support for this as I plan to get a PVR-350, but the merge for ivtv failed because I have 2.6.24-rc4 (ebuild logic says die if not 2.6.22 _or_ 2.6.23). I patched the ebuild to make it work but wasn't aware the driver portion of it is no longer relevant. Thanks!
Yes it's proper. Every single kernel version changes the ivtv API that the utilities use so far. I believe 2.6.24 will require ivtv-1.1.x userspace, which has not been released yet. So the failure to compile is correct. This will happen once again with 2.6.25 when the i2c interface is changed.
