I'm not sure what you consider the "normal places". The myhtv manual builds result in the binaries, etc. being placed into /usr/local/bin. Most rpm or ebuilds I've seen place the binaries, etc. into /usr/bin. I've seen several ebuilds floating around. Search this list to find examples. I believe the ebuild available at http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66337 is the one that most gentoo users are using. I took a whack at creating my own ebuilds based on the work above, which better fits my needs. Here are my ebuilds if you want to play with them: http://threeputt.org/ebuilds/mythtv-0.17_pre.ebuild http://threeputt.org/ebuilds/mythtv-plugins-0.17_pre.ebuild http://threeputt.org/ebuilds/mythweb-0.17_pre.ebuild I run a combined frontend/backend system, so my preference was to have as few ebuilds as possible, so the mythtv ebuild has what people normally break up into backend/frontend builds and the mythtv-plugins has all of the standard myth plugins, plus nuvexport. The mythweb ebuild, obviously only has the mythweb stuff... :) These ebuilds are a work in progress, so if you find any problems, I'd appreciate you letting me know.
