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.
