Hello, In Mythbuntu we have a tool called Mythbuntu Control Centre (MCC) that has a pluggable infrastructure for adding support via other packages. One of the plugins available is a package called "mythbuntu-repos". This package isn't currently on the archive, but stored solely on http://mythbuntu.org/auto-builds. This package adds an additional tab to MCC which allows the user to enable or disable an extra repository for mythtv updates. This repository contains packages kicked off by a script that will build updated mythtv builds to both the current stable branch and the current master branch. Users can select either one from the repository.
Thus far we've been reluctant to bring this feature directly into the packages in the archive. More and more however, we're finding ourselves recommending users go that URL to enable auto-builds and then update to the latest of the stable branch to determine if the problem is present there. So we're considering bringing the feature to enable the repository directly into MCC without additional plugins, but of course leaving the repository disabled until the user opts in to it. I wanted to get feedback from other Ubuntu developers. What do you think about allowing the user to enable a third party source from this tool? Thanks, -- Mario Limonciello supe...@ubuntu.com
