Yeah, and if I don't want to use this machine as a backend, why do I need to waste my time building it ;) > Years ago, there may have been some attempt to produce backend-only or > frontend-only configs.

Ok, the last time I used MythTV was maybe 7 years ago, so I'll just take your word for it. > Logically, Myth is one database server, one or more backends (one master and > n slave backends) and one or more frontends.

Ok, well I still don't see why the mysql_server variant would be useful for. It doesn't really matter at build time where the database server is, right? _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list macports-dev@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-dev
