Has there been any thoughts about releasing the "bijou" packages for CentOS 5? I imagine it's a difficult proposition since atrpms-testing already contains CentOS / RHEL replacement packages for use with the standard mythtv packages. Atrpms-bleeding already contains mythtv SVN trunk, so is there any hope of pre-compiled mythtv "bijou" packages for CentOS 5? Thanks. /Brian/ _______________________________________________ atrpms-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.atrpms.net/mailman/listinfo/atrpms-users
