staying on mythtv 0.24
Hi,

Here is what I have done to stay on mythtv 0.24, if anyone wants to do
the same. I would like to hear any ideas/corrections to do it more
elegantly that what I have done, because that was laborious ;-) The
situation I'm in is also unstable, in that, it prefers to upgrade to
0.25 :-(

First I did an yum install of all mythtv packages *already* installed on
my system, noting f anything would bring in 0.25 packages. The process
was much like:
rpm -qa myth\* | sed 's/0.24.2-281/0.24.3-282/g' | xargs yum install

I noticed that there where some 0.24 libraries still wanting to update,
so I did that:
yum update libmyth\*-0.24_0

Still there where some libraries wanting to upgrade, but insisting on
upgrading to 0.25. Those I did with:
yum install libmythavcodec52-0.24.3-282.fc16.i686
libmythavcore0-0.24.3-282.fc16.i686
libmythavdevice52-0.24.3-282.fc16.i686
libmythavfilter1-0.24.3-282.fc16.i686
libmythavformat52-0.24.3-282.fc16.i686
libmythavutil50-0.24.3-282.fc16.i686
libmythpostproc51-0.24.3-282.fc16.i686 libmythswscale0-0.24.3-282.fc16.i686

My reason for staying on 0.24 for the time being is until I hear how
0.25 fares with AMD/ATI graphics, and which driver one needs (radeon or
catalyst)
Hope it helps someone.

Regards,
Kim

Yes, Kim, it's going to help those of us with CentOS-5 backends where
.25 isn't available but CentOS-6 frontends where we will need to perform
this procedure. I'll be sure to save your procedure. It will save me
some work. Thanks.

Re: staying on mythtv 0.24 [ In reply to ]
For Fedora 16, I added an exclude line to the [atrpms] section
of /etc/yum.repos.d/atrpms.repo.

[atrpms]
name=Fedora $releasever - $basearch - ATrpms
failovermethod=priority
baseurl=http://dl.atrpms.net/f$releasever-$basearch/atrpms/stable
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-atrpms
exclude=*-0.25-*

In case some other package gets upgraded to the same version as mythtv,
I occasionally run this yum command just to see what I am missing:

# yum --disableexcludes=all list updates

I can't see why that wouldn't also work on CentOS-*. Yum is Yum. Maybe
throw a "myth" string in the exclude as well so you don't accidentally
filter other ATrpm packages.

Yes, the exclude line could be:

exclude=*myth*-0.25-*

I was worried that it would miss the uppercase M in perl-MythTV and
python-MythTV, but those two packages do get excluded.
