Alioth is kind of like the stepping stone to getting a package into the Debian mainstream. You can do without having space on alioth, but it offers great advantages if you do. I'm sure Matt is getting tired of answering questions regarding MythTv. I contacted him a few days after he moved his apt source. A week or so later he put up a disclaimer on his http deb site saying that he would not maintain it any longer. I would love to work on the package, but I really need to graduate college this semester so I can get on with the rest of my life, otherwise I would put more energy into it. The best course of action in my eyes is to get a hold of the PowerPC guy and get the space shared with them on alioth. We could have PowerPC, amd64 and i386 packages all in the same space, we could coordinate on the Debian makefiles and hopefully fulfill all the Debian requirements to get it mainstream. With the push to get mplayer in mainstream, MythTv will be an even better addition. Other things that would be good to work on is install scripts much like KnoppMyth has. There is a lot that can be done! > -----Original Message----- > From: Mark Lehrer [mailto:mark [at] knm] > Sent: Wednesday, February 01, 2006 9:24 AM > To: Robert LeBlanc > Subject: Re: [mythtv] Deb builds from SVN? > > On Tue, Jan 31, 2006 at 01:12:24PM -0700, Robert LeBlanc wrote: > > I started this, but the PowerPc guys took the package space on alioth a > > few hours or so before I did.
