I have been waiting to hear from Issac before perusing the project. I
would like to have the full backing from him before starting. He has not
posted in a while though. Some people have given good suggestions for
the infrastructure (hosted by Debian, using a mailing list for the
package maintainers, etc) and I think that we should do it right as much
as possible to try and get it submitted into the general Debian archive.
As soon as I hear from Issac I was going to spearhead the operation. I
also need to double check all the copyright information for MythTV and
run it by Debian-legal. I don't think Matt took the repository offline,
he just moved it to debian.old.

So guys, Matt's MythTV repository for debian is history:

"I regret that I can no longer maintain these packages; please refer to
the
mythtv-dev mailing list for further information.

 - mdz"

Let's just start! Who can really offer a reliable and fast repository
where we can at least put all released 0.18.1 packages for sid and for
sarge?
The next step is either to create an external project where we can use
Matt's debian/ folder as basis to build debs from SVN or to create a
build script for debian in mythtv/contrib.
I know there is a build script for MacOS and we have also started to
create a debian build script in the german IRC channel #mythtv-de.

So does anyone have a working debian folder? Debs created with my
debian folder still show lots of error messages in lintian/linda but
they could be a good starting point if you guys don't have a better
one.
