I *highly* recommend encap (although I haven't tried any of the other pseudo-package managers). Download, compile, install 'epkg' from www.encap.org. For all the mythtv parts and packages, put something like this in the settings.pro:1) ATRPMs installs into /usr but all the mailing list stuff I could find talked about keeping different versions under /usr/local and using symlinks to switch between versions with tools like Stow, Encap, OpenPKG. There is a HOWTO at http://www.mythtv.info/moin.cgi/UpgradeToCvsHowTo but it doesn't go into much detail. What to do if I want to install CVS stuff into /usr/local but all the existing ATRPM stuff is in /usr?
PREFIX = /usr/local/encap/mythtv-20050117
Compile and install all bits and pieces of mythtv there, and run 'epkg -i mythtv-20050117'
Normally, one would put all packages in individual encaps like: /usr/local/encap/mythtv-0.16 /usr/local/encap/mythvideo-0.16 /usr/local/encap/mythmusic-0.16
and they'll all get mapped (via symlinks) to /usr/local. I found that mythtv doesn't know about its extra modules if you do that, though... rolling them all together did the trick.
