Over the past year I've been working with both external major build RPM systems to build RPMS for the projects I've been working on. If posts appears incomplete, it was probably edited by the upstream admin. Previously, I've had some (naive) idea's of bridging the two repo's to some extent. However, that idea was soley mine and did not receive support from where it needed to be. I also recently had ambitions to move off of el6 completely and jump on the bandwagon to see if it was a smooth ride. That was also overly idealistic and naive of me to think. Given this. I now no longer ride this fence and try to please both parties. I now will focus on ATrpms compatible packages only. If posts appears incomplete, it was probably edited by the upstream admin. What does this mean technically? It means I will not be using any Source RPMS they have been built at RPMfusion. I will still build missing packages that are not in ATrpms from EPEL or upstream. It means the ffmpeg and other similar "moving target" packages that Axel and the international community chooses will be matched to all projects ELmythOS project uses. It means RedHat EL6 based systems will still be supported to run additional Qt 4.7/4.8 along side the builtin qt-4.6.2 in el6 proper. It means I don't have to "reshape a wheel" too often and the result could be a more robust system. If your more conservative than the most and prefer to use older versions for stability over NEW functionality, look no further. Use el6 and mythtv-0.25.x. If you want to play in the devel sandbox with the latest toys and look really cool doing so, you should be on the latest releases of everything. Regarding that, el7 is where the NEW fuctionality will be so if you want to play in the mythtv, qt sandbox, use el7 and repos.

So I do not attempt to insult their innovation, but instead will offer alternatives of their older work, that I deem still relevently funtional. I make my own decisions based on my experiences: as an End User, then as a Computer Technician, then as a former Technical Support worker, then as Linux Systems Admin and now as an aspiring Systems Builder, packager and developer.

Note: I do not call myself an Engineer because I'm finishing my education still and it would an insult to repected Engineers to do so. I've learned everything I know with GED as my current HIGHEST EDUCATION. If I ever call myself an Engineer , you can bet your $T#$ I will back it up with a Eng.Degree in Mathematics. For now I'm just a passionate volunteer Gnobody systems builder with many opinions and high expectations. I know enough about C/C++ Software development right to be objective, as my skills improve I will make patches as needed from upstream. This should help the project stay updated with security updates. I'm not running a popularity contest. Plenty do that already and miss the details I'm passionate about.
