This package replaces the previous 'mythtv' AUR package. It has been renamed to comply with Arch's VCS package guidelines.

I hope to update the various mythplugins AUR packages soon

@delx I would be grateful for this (How would people feel about me adopting this modifying it to track the fixes/31 branch) and offer my entire cache of encouragement :)

@delx Thanks for the suggestion on AUR helpers. I installed 'yay' and then used it to install mythtv-git on a completely fresh Archlinux system and it worked great.

Hi @jfabernathy. Most of the dependencies for mythtv and mythtv-git are available in the core+extra Arch Linux repositories. For the AUR dependencies you will indeed need to build them yourself. There are tools called AUR helpers which can assist with this.

Another newbie question since you are about to look into this project. This could be me misunderstanding how things work but when I built mythtv the first time, it failed due to missing dependencies. So I had to go to each dependency that it was complaining about, then search aur for it, and do the git. Then makepkg -si for each one. Then I could makepkg -si for mythtv itself. Is this normal? Or am I missing something I should know.

Thanks :)

I'll wait a few more days in case somebody else wants to chime in.

@delx, sounds good to me. Thanks.

@delx, I have no objections to you adopting this package.

How would people feel about me adopting this modifying it to track the fixes/31 branch, just like mythtv-git. At that point mythtv-git could be dropped, or somebody else could adopt it to track master.

@jfabernathy Download snapshot and Git clone of this repo will result in the same contents, as far as building this package is concerned. The advantage of Git clone is that once you clone it, you can simply use Git to pull any changes that are submitted since you cloned. With download snapshot, you will have to re-download whenever there are new changes, if you want them.

The difference between this package and the mythtv-git package is that this one is fixed to the official MythTV releases posted, where as mythtv-git builds from the latest source on a particular branch.

Unfortunately for this package, it seems @Taijian has recently abandoned it, so I'm not sure if someone else will step up to maintain it or not.

newbie question: I built mythtv using Download snapshot yesterday and after installing some dependencies I got fixes/31 from the March release of mythfrontend installed and working against my existing remote backend. So ~6 months out of date. when I searched the AUR for mythtv it found another one called mythtv-git. I built that using Git Clone URL and it's seems to have the latest Oct 12, 2020 fixes. Which should I be using and does using the Download snapshot versus Git Clone URL make the difference??
