On a web site related note, it appears to be down again this evening
(from the uk at least). Yesterday I began the 0.22 upgrade, only to
find I have 'database corruption', linked to utf8 tables in my
database. I was and am unable to grab the corruption_page that was
written to deal with this.

Presumably there is a robots.txt file which prohibits google and
others from caching it, as I am unable to locate it in their cache. Is
there a reason why the wiki (maybe the whole website) isn't
crawlerable? Or maybe now is the time to seek someone willing to
mirror the website components of mythtv.org?

Does anyone have a note of the exact sed command in the above
mentioned page? I'll have a go anyway without it. And maybe this email
won't make it anyone anyway, so I should stop writing ;)

Hey the website just came back for me at least. The command was 'zcat
mythconverg-1214-20081217145744.sql.gz | sed 's/SET NAMES utf8/SET
NAMES latin1/' >  mythconverg-to_uncorrupt.sql' but read the whole
page b4 you tackle it! have fun.
