Thought it was fairly easy, I did it. Had to get some packages freshrpms.net
though (the only one I had to build by hand was libcd(?))

I've not played with spec files, but ain't it someone maintaining rpms?

I've build from CVS since about a month ago, needed DVB. And it works great,
lots of new features also. But be sure to read the docs:
http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-5.html

And remeber to update your database (hint: cvs.mysql)

The path back might be hard, but once your here you won't go back ;)

Ahh, forgot to mention, I have RedHat 9.

And remember to edit settings.pro for optimization and the dir to install.

I have spec files that compile RPM's from cvs (slightly modified
versions of Axel's cvs specs, which he hasn't touched in awhile). It'd
be nice if Isaac were ok with including spec's right in the myth source
tree during CVS (or letting people distribute cvs binaries), but for
now, I can make them available if people really want them.

hey, can you send me those spec files? I was in the middle of doing this
myself, but if you already have them done, I'd really appreciate you sending
them to me. Thanks.

Is there a reason Isaac is against including spec's? Or is it simply a
time/priority thing? Or is it that nobody ever asked him?

It would be nice if CVS version and RPMs played nice with each other,
although DB versioning is still an issue.

actually, here is a link to Axel's things. He includes a couple of nice
patches for directory stuff, etc. Also, you'll need the some .desktop
files and other stuff he includes, which you should be able to get from
the src rpm for .10

http://atrpms.physik.fu-berlin.de/dist/rh9/myth-cvs/

last I checked, there were a couple of broken BuildRequires statements,
but he knows about them and has hopefully fixed them.

You'll have to ask him about this. Though as I understand it, his
dislike is more for distributing binary versions of CVS.

ok, I've moved everything myth-related of mine to:

http://forevermore.net/myth/

this currently includes my nuvexport script and my modified/updated myth
spec files (along with assocated sources).

To use the specs, untar them to your "redhat" (rpm build) directory -
the archive contains both SOURCES and SPECS directories, but you'll have
to supply your own binaries. For that, I've also included my cvs tool
scripts that update my current CVS tree and spec files with the current
date and version info. For lack of a better cvs versioning scheme (ala
Pan), I've just set the version to .11 since rpm sees "cvs######" as
being less than "1" so it all works out fine when the final version
comes out. YOU WILL NEED TO EDIT THE SCRIPTS to set your own directory
paths.

Anyway, that should do it for anyone who wants to run rpm's of cvs
stuff. I'll try to keep my copies updated as Axel updates his spec
files (since his are the semi-official ones, and he's better at this
kind of thing than I am).

Apache is interpreting it as a cgi script. I already sent Chris an email
about it.

right click, save-as... but I've renamed it, thanks.

Actually you can't do that. If you could do "save-as" on cgi scripts, most
of the web would be in deep trouble. Huge security hole.

I am now getting permission denied on the file (w/o pl extension)

Works great now. I am running the scripts as we speak.

I am actually trying to write a mythdvd spec file right now.

I'd like copies of the spec files, they'd be useful for the installer
I've been working on.

Doesn't anyone read followup posts?

check my posts to this thread for more info about the scripts, etc.
