<div class="gmail_quote">I had given up on portage for mythtv but I just checked this out. The myth plugins are handled differently now. Instead of installing mythmusic, mythnetvision, etc., you just install the single media-plugins/mythplugins package and enable the USE flags for the specific plugins you want. That seems like a much simpler and better method, and closer to how upstream distributes them. So in order to upgrade you'll probably have to manually uninstall your media-plugins/myth* packages, set up your USE flags in /etc/portage/package.use, then upgrade mythtv and install the mythplugins package.<br>

I know I only found the interim Gentoo Portage from git directions from the mailing list archive (back around 0.23->0.24, during that period when the actual Gentoo support had gone stale), and I was really wondering how Gentoo ebuilds were being handled. For myself, I'm still at 0.24-fixes and will probably just wait until there is some stability with the eventual 0.26-fixes before attempting any upgrade.<br>
</blockquote><div><br>I'm sure there's nothing "official" for either Gentoo or MythTV about switching from an overlay package to a portage package. Sorry if gave you the impression I was involved with this change. I just looked at the new packages based on your prompting and figured out what had changed and what you needed to do to switch.<br>
<br>You're probably wise to stick with 0.24 for now. I upgraded because I had some hardware die right at the same time as 0.25 was released and I wanted/needed to get VAAPI working. But there are several key things that were better in 0.24. For example, commercial flagging is almost completely broken in 0.25 (e.g., maybe 1 or 2 breaks per show get flagged, but more often none). I think somebody is working on that, though. Mythmusic changed, and my previous keybindings (page up/page down to change track) don't work any more. And 0.25 feels like it's slower to start up. Anyway, just my 2c.<br>
