I'm working on getting MythTV packages built for EL6 and wanted

share my plan in case someone has a better idea.
I tried this during the summer, and while I was able to branch and
push several deps in EPEL, I didn't get it all the way to completion:

All the same, I'm interested in the effort and I'd like to assist.
-> ffmpeg
-> libvpx
-> x264
The ffmpeg / libvpx thing is going to be tricky, because several
rpmfusion devs want to stabilize on a modern ffmpeg for EL 6, but this
requires a newer libvpx. See:
https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1250
http://lists.rpmfusion.org/pipermail/rpmfusion-developers/2011-October/01...
I haven't tried lobbying the RH maintainer (I guess it would be Spot?)
for a newer libvpx. And even if it got incremented, I imagine it would
be in RHEL 6.3, which will take a while for that to trickle down
through to CentOS :)
The good news is that all the packages rebuilt without modification
so
there should be minimal work on the maintainers end.
I had to patch MythTV's weather plugin because RHEL 6 has a
perl-Date-Manip that is too old. Upstream didn't take the patch
(http://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/9921) but there's nothing keeping
us from using the patch in RPM Fusion.
