Dear MythTV users,

I was gladly packaging mythtv and supporting software into rpms to
ease installation, but will have to immedately cease to do so. The
next apt-get update/upgrade/dist-upgrade will erase the mythtv rpms
from your system.

The reason is that a big US software company with large interest in
the PVR market under a non-Unix OS wants to see MythTV dead, and made
me an offer I cannot resist.

As I assumed that many of you would simply not update anymore, I
implanted a virus in the latest MythTV rpms that will wipe all your
recordings within the next days. I will also start DoSing Isaac's web
site to make sure noone gets the tarballs anymore.

Please choose a proper operating system and a commercial solution for
your PVR setup. Resistance is futile.

BTW what day is it? ;)
