Public bug reported: For each MythTV release, upstream keeps a "fixes" branch where they commit fixes (rather than features) of bugs found in that release. This has quite a few fixes for some major bugs found in the version released with 12.04 and be uploaded as an SRU.
[IMPACT] * Minor issues aside, some of the major issues in the 12.04 release are * Running mythfilldatabase takes much longer (hours instead of minutes) to run due to MySQL 5.5 using the innodb engine by default. ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mythtv/+bug/997367 ) * One of the most popular tuner cards failed recording when run in Digital Cable mode ( http://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/10712 ) * Mythbuntu is doing LTS only releases, thus this needs to be fixed in the point release ISOs. [TESTCASE] * Install a MythTV backend, sign up for an account at http://www.schedulesdirect.org/, configure mythtv-backend, run mythfilldatabase --dd-grab-all. This will take a few hours to run and disk IO will be high. [Regression Potential] * The MythTV set of packages are isolated in that nothing is built against them. There should be no regression as the fixes are on MythTV itself. * The Mythbuntu team provides a PPA with builds of MythTV where these fixes have been tested on 12.04. We've not heard any negative feedback on these fixes. ** Affects: mythtv (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1029522 Title: Newer version of MythTV fixing some major bugs needs an SRU To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mythtv/+bug/1029522/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
