The main ebuild built beautifully and without issue for me on three
machines. The plugins required modifying the mythtv-plugins.eclass so that
it recognizes that the release candidate plugins are built with QT4.
Since the RC is just a temporary solution and the ebuilds are hard-masked
anyway, I didn't bother to file a bug against it.

Just make sure you follow the guide to "fix" the database prior to upgrading
though.

Thanks Tom,

I think I'll wait until the plugins eclasses e.t.c.. are all brought up to date..
(WAF is very important to maintain)..

Which should be relatively soon. Downtime for my setup was just over an
hour, my wife was very happy to see the new UI and themes in general.

I'd say give it a try anyway. Do a qpkg media-video/mythtv
x11-themes/mythtv-themes and whatever plugins you have, back-up the database
and have a go for it. At worst, you spend 5 minutes installing the
backed-up binaries if something goes awry. :)

It won't build for me due to this bug:

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=279944

So I grabbed a copy from SVN and that compiled just fine. So I've been
running that version for several weeks now.
