See the thread : Re: [mythtv-users] KnoppMyth R5A22 seriously broken (was: RE: Mythtv -0.18.1 using protocol 15) I don't mind people using svn as long as they know it's svn. Using packages based on svn can cause problems due to claims that they are official versions. -- John _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
