/me raises hand. :)
I already have a fair amount of involvement with mythtv as maintainer of
its stable code branch and my work on the ATrpms-provided mythtv packages.
Unfortunately, there are some issues of reality to deal with. I'd love to
see mythtv into Extras and, but the mythtv source code itself contains
ffmpeg, which itself is already banished from Extras.
Whoops, misread what Thorsten said, I think. I don't think he was advocating
for mythtv into Extras, he was talking about putting it into another repo.
What's wrong with the ATrpms version? Is it simply a matter of principle that
people refuse to use the ATrpms package(s), since ATrpms can/does override
core packages? A protectbase option seems like an idea solution for that, so
why dismiss it w/"use a repo that doesn't override"...
