I am away on a trip, and will not be able to prepare Debian or Ubuntu

stem the tide.
I've updated the debian directories for 0.18. This is the most I've ever done with debs so I'm not confident I've got it entirely right. If someone knows more and wants to check it, I've tarred up the debian directories for mythtv and the plugins:
http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~willu/mythtv-debdir.tgz http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~willu/mythplugins-debdir.tgz
The plugins dir only handles a couple of the plugins, not all of them. To make debian packages from these, you untar them to add a debian dir in the mythtv and mythplugins dirs respectively. Then you 'dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -b' from each of those directories.
I haven't yet figured out how to publish the debs this creates, although I assume that isn't too hard.
There is one major change from Matt's versions: Matt used a cron job for mythfilldatabase. I removed that - I use mythtv's builtin ability to call mythfilldatabase. Unfortunately, this doesn't clean up the old cron job - you'll need to delete /etc/cron.daily/mythtv?????? yourself.
I think it'd be a good idea if this was put in a source repository somewhere. Any chance of making another directory in the mythtv CVS repository? We could put these debian directories in there, as well as gentoo scripts, rpm stuff, etc. Then scripts could be kept up to date with CVS as it evolves.
Be well,
Will :-}
