Heh Heh the tables are turned :-)

I just compiled, setup and have a working frontend. Can I help? What problems did you have?

I can't remember the problems I had, but just playing with OpenSuSE
convinced me that I wanted no part of it as an OS that I wanted to use.

Jim I decided to give enderverOS another whirl carefully following
https://forum.mythtv.org/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=5567
exactly.

So much happens across

Code: Select all
yay -S mythtv-git --editmenu
take defaults on options, except the package to edit. Select the number of "mythtv-git".
Change the source= for
"git+https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv#branch=fixes/33"
and change to
"git+https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv#branch=master"

save and exit to continue build. Take defaults and enter password when required.

and I see nowhere / noway to set
git+https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv#branch=master

So I build
mythtv-git-33.1.r23.g4112015bfe

What step am I missing?

James

yay -S mythtv-git --editmenu is just a better way of building a AUR
packages PKGBUILD file. If you view the mythtv-git PKGBUILD file you will
see 33.1 listed twice. Once in the pkgver=v33.1.r10.g0682d4d42d statement
and once in the source=(
"git+https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv#branch=fixes/33"
section.

The pkgver is not important, but at the first part of the build you will
see some messages about building it. That is not the case.

If you change:
"git+https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv#branch=fixes/33"
to
"git+https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv#branch=master"

it will build Pre-34 Master.

When yay -S mythtv-git --editmenu starts it will ask questions about clean
building and view diffs, etc. Just hit enter EXCEPT on the question about
the package to edit. To that questions you enter the number listed beside
the mythtv-git package.

Then it should ask you about which editor to use. I select 'nano' and then
go through the PKGBUILD file with nano and make the changes. Then you save
and exit the editor and the build will continue.

Thankyou. Once you learn to pick your way around the package build system is quiet nice.
Needless to say it built without a pause.
If your instructions are aimed at naive users you could add “source= near the bottom” and ignore pkgver near the top. Also /etc/makepkg.conf does not exist until you build a package. So start a build, quit then edit -j nn.
Cheers
James
