If someone is creating a port of MythTV, I have a few wishes for such a port. :^) Create it as a master port which basically is the whole MythTV, and with a slave port which is only the Mythfrontend program. This will have the advantage that we will be able to run the Mythfrontend on any FreeBSd box, and (if the port is properly done) without a lot of unneeded dependencies (MySQL, etc.). > if it does not run properly, i will consider submutting my heavily > patched 0.18-fixes as a port. A MythTV 0.17 port have also been created http://mythtv.son.org/ but never maintained (at least not available to the public). I think that if a MythTV port is going to have lasting value and a lifespan, it will have to be based on the current "production" release of MythTV, or no further back than the prevoius release. MythTV (http://www.mythtv.org/) is now at 0.20, and the very popular KnoppMyth (http://mysettopbox.tv/knoppmyth.html) is at R5 D1, which uses MythTV 0.19 (or is it 0.19-fixes? I don't remember). In the case of KnoppMyth, there is already a "how-to" on the forum for upgrading to MythTV 0.20. That would allow people to run a KnoppMyth / Linux-based MythTV backend server and Mythfrontend on FreeBSD machine(s) until we have good enough TV card drivers under FreeBSD.
