Well my blog has gotten a face lift. I went out and was looking at all sorts of themes and finally picked one I liked. It still needs to be tweaked a little bit to my liking but it’s a pretty nice theme. It’s much better then being lame and going with the default.

On the media-tv herd front, I went through and wrangled a lot of our bugs and trimmed the list to about half today. A lot of new package requests were assigned to maintainer-wanted. I know some people might be disappointed but I only joined the media-tv herd to take care of mythtv and then everyone in the herd left. I don’t have the hardware or the time to babysit all the other packages. I’ve been encouraging others to take over the packages one by one. So for those of you that want to become devs, here’s a call for you. You can pick up media-tv packages and use that as your way in.

MythTV front, well I’m preparing a release from the 0-18-fixes branch, but it appears unmaintained. There need to be a bunch of patches applied to it but haven’t been. So I’m taking the latest revision of 0-18-fixes, which is revision number 7882 and applying 5 patches to it and packing it up as 0.18.2_pre7882 and we’ll have that available in Portage shortly. There will also be a spot release of mythplugins and myththemes. They will be versions slightly differently, basically whatever their last revision # is.
