It's been a long time since I've tried MythTV. There was enough to
annoy me about it, certainly, and I'm not a fan of the Qt and mysql
dependencies myself. But Freevo isn't exactly a shining example of
easy-to-install software either. Freevo should be as easy to install as
Ximian Desktop was (back in the Ximian days).
curl http://freevo.org/install.py | python
When it's that easy to install on say the top 2 or 3 distros (well the
only one I personally care about is Fedora Core :)), then I'll be
happy. :)
I think its about time myself and TCWAN get on sorting out the yum repo
properly, if you had a freevo-universe package for instance then it'd be
as simple as
rpm -ivh http://freevo.org/freevo-yum-1.0.noarch.rpm
yum install freevo-universe
OK, its two lines not one, but hey, its easy enough. It would be nice
though if we could persuade the fedora community to distribute freevo in
extras.
Some kind bloke has done this for mandriva, so at least there it's as
easy as 'urpmi freevo' as long as you have your contrib source
configured. I believe there is an apt resource for debian. Not sure
about SUSE. As an aside I know that 1.5.4 was running on OSX, has anyone
tried running the svn code on it? I know this might not be considered a
show stopper but it would be great to have as many distros/platforms as
possible supported by the time 2.0 comes round. But this anyway is only
half the problem (as I'm sure you're aware), freevo really needs an easy
way for users to configure it, either on screen or through a web
interface (or both).
the themes look like irish hangover vomit,
Thanks for that good laugh. :)
Its the way I tell 'em ;)
I wasn't aware our vomit had a distinctive look to it :)
I think the developers are on crack, because they insist on using
irxevent instead of doing something far simpler like using the lirc
library to access ir events.
Is it still that way? I never understood that either. It's not like
using the library is complicated.
Last time I looked it was.
Surely Myth doesn't require kdelibs?
Well I thought it does, I could be wrong but installing it on FC2 had
kdelibs installed as a dependency and was impossible to remove.
Anyway, this is way off topic, and although we all love to rant about
the competition, its probably a good idea if we skirt things back to the
task in hand.
K,
Indeed it is, sorry for continuing.
