[mythtv-users] Autopackage

2005-03-27 Thread Jeff Wormsley
Saw an article on Slashdot about Autopackage.  It supposedly is a binary 
packaging system that can handle multiple distros with the same 
package.  Considering how many people use different distros, I'm 
wondering if this ought to be looked into, or if it is so much more work 
it isn't useful.  Might be nice though, to have one official binary 
package for most users (I'm sure Gentoo users would rather retain 
Portage, but who knows?).  Just a thought, as I know zero about building 
packages of any type.

Jeff.

Since Myth is written in C++ it's a lot more compilcated since the ABI
isn't consistent across compiler versions.
