With the mythtv packages being dropped to the AUR, are there any remaining options for DVR software in the official repos? =-Jameson

Hi Jameson, I might be wrong, but I think the only other option is kodi. Regards, Giancarlo Razzolini

Hi guys, thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately, both of those options only act as fronend clients, and still need a DVR backend like mythtv-backend or tvheadend to connect to. =-Jameson

I must have missed this, and I don't see any other mention of it on this list or on arch-announce or /news or pacman logs. Where or how else should I have been paying attention? mm

We don't usually publish news advisories when packages are dropped from the repos. It is easy to tell, however, by listing installed packages which are not from the repos: `pacman -Qm`. Some AUR helpers can also list packages that were installed from the AUR. If a package that used to be provided by the repos is now listed as a foreign package by pacman or an AUR package by an AUR helper, then this indicates the package was dropped. :) It was also discussed on arch-dev-public (which anyone can subscribe to for read-only access, or simply look at the public archives) as part of our end-of-year repository cleanup. -- Eli Schwartz

Thanks. Yep, I see it now that I've sync'd. It's not something that I'd periodically check. I'm sure it would have jumped out at me the next time I did an update via aur helper. Then again my question was more about getting notice (and info), than about noticing. ;)
