I recently moved my XBMC / MythTV box from Fedora to CentOS 6. RPM Fusion's mythtv SRPMs built fine once I satisfied the missing dependencies. I was able to use SRPMs from Fedora / RPM Fusion F15 branches. The following dependency packages are missing from EPEL or RPM Fusion's EL-testing. I plan to contact the individual maintainers to see if they will branch for EL6 and to offer help if they want. If anyone else here is interested in EL6, please let me know! (Or maybe I'll run out of enthusiasm, and this will serve as a stepping stone for other folks, who knows.) Missing EL6 deps for mythtv-0.24.1-1.fc15.src.rpm: BR: lirc-devel. Branch for EPEL. Owner: jwilson BR: libirman-devel. Branch for EPEL. Owner: ondrejj BR: faac-devel. Branch from RPM Fusion nonfree. Owner: kwizart BR: libfame-devel. Branch from RPM Fusion free. Owner: jwilson BR: mjpegtools-devel. Branch from RPM Fusion free. Owner: j.w.r.degoede(a)gmail.com BR: SDL_gfx-devel. EPEL maintainer has branched for EL6, but see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/720879. Owner: thias BR: libquicktime-devel. Branch from RPM Fusion free. Owner: kwizart BR: faad2-devel. Branch from RPM Fusion free. Owner: kwizart BR: id3lib, now in EPEL testing. BR: xmms-devel. Orphaned in Fedora. I disabled the xmms code in the faad2 SRPM. BR: transcode, Branch from RPM Fusion free. Owner: david(a)juran.se, cc kwizart BR: pvm, Branch for EPEL. Owner: alexlan BR: libmpeg3-devel, Branch for RPM Fusion free. Owner: kwizart BR: x264-devel, Branch from RPM Fusion free. Owner: rpm(a)greysector.net, cc kwizart BR: libcrystalhd-devel, Branch for EPEL. Owner: jwilson BR: gstreamer-devel >= 0.10.30, and CentOS Base has 0.10.29. I bumped libcrystalhd-devel's requirement down to CentOS's version and it builds, though I don't have the hardware to test myself. BR: libcdaudio-devel. Now in EPEL-testing. mytharchive Requires: dvdauthor. Branch for EPEL. Owner: scop ffmpeg. Branch from RPM Fusion free. rpm(a)greysector.net, cc kwizart BR: librtmp-devel (rtmpdump). Branch from RPM Fusion free. Owners: dwmw2(a)infradead.org, cc alexlan BR: libva-devel. Branch for EPEL. Owner: adamwill Had to conditionally disable BR: libvpx-devel >= 0.9.1. CentOS base includes 0.9.0. See bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/1250 BR: x264-devel . Branch from RPM Fusion free. rpm(a)greysector.net, cc kwizart BR: perl-DateTime-Format-ISO8601, Fork for EPEL. Owner: cweyl As is, mythtv-0.24.1-1.fc15.src.rpm fails because it misses qt-webkit-devel: Error! QtWebkit headers not found I had to modify the qt-webkit-devel conditional in mythtv.spec: %if 0%{?fedora} >= 14 || 0%{?rhel} >= 6 mythvideo Requires: python-imdb. Branch for EPEL. Owner: limb mythweather Requires: perl(Date::Manip::TZ). In Fedora this is contained within the perl-Date-Manip package. RHEL6 has an older perl-Date-Manip that does not contain the ::TZ modules. For EL6, we could make a separate package, ie perl-Date-Manip-TZ, but this is probably not the best option because this could cause incompatibilites - the modules are supposed to be one "package" from upstream's point of view. It is more feasible to simply patch mythweather to work with an older Date::Manip. I've written a patch (just 3 lines changed) and I can submit this separately. mythvideo Requires: mplayer. Branch for RPM Fusion free. BR: aalib-devel. Already branched in EPEL6; see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/695759 BR: em8300-devel. Branch for EPEL. Owner: heffer, cc scop Had to conditionally disable BR: libvpx-devel >= 0.9.1. CentOS base includes 0.9.0. See bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/1250 BR: lib555-devel. Branch for RPM Fusion free. BR: twolame-devel. Branch for RPM Fusion free. mjpegtools Requires: mencoder. Branch for RPM Fusion free. mjpegtools Requires: y4mscaler. Branch for RPM Fusion free. == Rebuild xbmc (and deps) == Same deal for XBMC. Several of the deps above probably apply here, but these are the additional ones.
