Consider this your public service announcement warning:
*BACKUP* your mythconverg database before upgrading.
If you don't, you won't be able to go back to 0.19-foo. The reason is because with each point release, the schema for the database changes. When you run mythbackend for the first time, it will upgrade your database schema if it needs to. But running an older version won't roll it back, meaning you will lose all your settings and entries in 'Watch Recordings', etc.
Backing it up should be pretty simple. Just get the mysql connection settings from ~/.mythtv/mysql.txt
Then do:
| Code: | | mysqldump -u mythtv -p mythtv mythconverg > mythconverg-`date +%F`.sql |
and save that file in a safe place. Heck, I would recommend doing regular database dumps anyway.

Great, now if I can get ivtv 7 to work (i.e. change channels, video is fine) then I will upgrade to MythTV .2!
I would suppose an ebuild will take more than just a few days to get ready?

Right, I did the ebuilds. I have media-plugins/mythbrowser
media-plugins/mythdvd
media-plugins/mythgallery
media-plugins/mythmusic
media-plugins/mythvideo
media-tv/mythtv
x11-themes/mythtv-themes
all working on the backend (i686 k7) at version 0.20.
I also have mythtv with USE="frontendonly" on two other machines (i686 prescott and x86_64 k8 )
All 3 machines are on the 2006.1 profile, up to date and running the stable portage tree.
I did all the ebuilds just for the sake of not missing any, BUT CANNOT VOUCH FOR THOSE NOT LISTED ABOVE AS WORKING.
I also added the option to drop oss sound support, and included the arts use flag (yes, everyone says is sucks, but I use it anyway). There are some added options to use the --disable-x11 configure flag (USE='-X') 'cos someone was talking about headless backends the other day, but havn't had a chance to test it at all yet, but if you have X set as a use flag you won't even notice.
CHECK YOUR USE FLAGS WITH emerge -pv BEFORE YOU ACCEPT THEM

Couldn't have said it better myself, I would also recommend running quickpkg on the myth stuff you have installed, nothing more disheartening than spending time compiling stuff, that then doesn't work, and having to recompile the original just to get back to square one.
| Code: | | quickpkg media-plugins/mythbrowser media-plugins/mythdvd media-plugins/mythgallery media-plugins/mythmusic media-plugins/mythvideo media-tv/mythtv x11-themes/mythtv-themes |
Basically I copied the old ebuilds over to the overlay dir, then checked the patches against the new code, and removed/altered them as needed, read the configure --help output and altered the ${myconf} bits of the ebuild to cope.
Here is the overlay as an archive just extract it to where you want and off you go.
This is just a quick hack for those who don't want to wait and are willing to give it a try, I don't think my ebuilding ability is good enough to solve any serious problems people may come across, but they worked for me, so good luck.... |

From bugzilla:
| Quote: | ------- Comment #2 From Doug Goldstein 2006-09-11 09:59 PST [reply] -------
Holy crap... You're kidding me...
This release will actually be delayed even further. It was planned for 8am EST
in Gentoo however I had a HD crash on my MythTV box and the entire drive needs
to be replaced and all the ebuilds are gone that I wrote for 0.20. So, I need a
new HD... Need to build it back up and get MythTV on there before I'll be able
to commit the ebuild... So sit tight kids.
Jakub, enjoy the flood of bugzilla reports since this will probably take a week
or so.

Too bad. I see people are already making ebuilds so you might be able to help him get up to speed by sending what you have. |

Uhh. Bad luck. 
Also last time I checked I couldnt get to the mythtv svn either. Wouldnt be surprised if their site is swamped with download requests.
Well... just calm down and let the dust settle.  One week isnt so long a time.

I've got the ebuilds setup in my portage overlay but get errors about the version of mysql not supporting the utf8 use flags.
mythtv-0.20.ebuild, line 90: Called built_with_use 'dev-db/mysql' 'utf8'
eutils.eclass, line 1605: Called die
!!! dev-db/mysql-4.1.21 does not actually support the utf8 USE flag!
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant. |

| I think I've found the solution. Simply commented out the section beginning line 90 of the ebuild and now it appears to be behaving. Fingers crossed. |

I thought by definition, spdif outputs the volume as it was originally presented. Eg, you hear it at the volume its broadcasted at. |

That's really odd, it's doing it here too now, the only thing that has changed in the last 16 hours is the overnight emerge --sync cron job, gahh, portage broke my ebuild. I updated the archive same url. |

Quoting mythtv.org: | Quote: | Whoops. A rather nasty little bug got checked in just before I made release last night that prevents mythweb from scheduling recordings.
I've updated the link to the new mythplugins download (0.20a) in the download section, if you want to redownload the entire thing again.
If you've already grabbed the source, here's a patch that you can use to update it to the fixed version. Just copy the diff file to the mythplugins-0.20 directory, and run: patch -p1 < fix-mythweb-in-0.20.diff
Sorry about that folks. |
So check it out if you use mythweb.

Right - I've hacked the old mythweb ebuild simply by changing the 0.19 to 0.20a and then commenting out the line that checks for conf.php which caused the build to fail and all seems well.
However the most eagerly anticipated feature must have been the ability to archive to DVD through mytharchive. I don't fancy my chances at writing a whole ebuild from scratch. Has anyone started on this yet?

Does the same thing with 0.19 as well. I didn't even know there was a utf8 USE flag.
Why doesn't portage give the option of skipping stupid crud like this? I'm not even using a Gentoo MySQL server... |

Ended up with segmentation fault - would not even start the backend. Same happened when I tried
some of these SVN ebuilds here awhile back I wonder whether the official ebuild will cause the
same drama :/ |

All the plugins come from the same source archive, so you should be able to just copy a similar format from one of the other plug-in module ebuilds, and alter the dependencies etc. If mytharchive can be run from another machine then I may look into it myself, but my backend has no dvd burner so...
| Se7enLC wrote: | | Anyone know what the 0.20 ebuild that made it into portage today is all about? It doesn't seem to work... |
I'd assume it's from the usual maintainer, but it manages to hardmask my overlay and now portage tries to downgrade again. Seeing as I'm from the "Don't try to fix it if it ain't broke" school of computing I'll just unmask the overlay and leave well alone until something does break, plus I'm still interested in getting it working via directfb/headless backend. |

| How about doing a rm /usr/portage/distfiles/myth* this should delete any downloads of incompatible versions and may just solve the problem. |

its not incredibly hard thanks to the mythtv-plugins eclass, the thing is though you have to update the eclass to know about mytharchive (this is just adding it to the end of a string!) i've got mythtv 0.20 compiled and working right now with mytharchive, though since i have no idea what the dependencies of mytharchive are i'm not going to release my ebuild, i just copied over the mythdvd one and used that (calling it mytharchive)
at the moment i'd suggest you wait on the gentoo team to get things sorted out and proper ebuilds made, shouldn't take too long
check https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=147148 for status on when it'll be available
