[mythtv-users] backend does not tune to channels

> qt 4.5

.21-fixes doesn't compile against Qt 4.

Trunk is by definition unstable.  That's the whole point of why people
shouldn't be running it in production unless they are closely
following the dev and commits lists and aware of what is broken at
that time.  For example, The channel-scan branch was merged back in to
trunk on Sunday.  One should *expect* channel scanning/adding/tuning
to be busted.  The whole point of merging it back in was to work
through the outstanding issues quicker.

When new features get added, bugs creep in, and old stuff gets broken.
Releases aren't just arbitrary moments in time, they are preceded by
a period of feature freeze and tons of bugfixes.


ben> Unfortunately there's a known mesa bug with libgl 1.4 that affected the qt3 calls mythtv-setup was using, so that was what made my try out trunk.  I've since found a patch for libgl, and am thus able to revert back to .21-fixes.  By the way, I've also build the trunk version previous to the channel-scan branch and that didn't work either.  One thing I didn't do was to drop mythconverg.  In hindsight, channel-scan could have inserted bad data into the database that caused mythbackend to fail.
