Replacement for bintray repository

Post by puterboy »

Now that bintray is down, is there a replacement repo that can be added to 'sources.list' in place of:
deb http://dl.bintray.com/bennettpeter/deb/ buster myth31

Is there an equivalent entry corresponding to the https://dl.orangedox.com/pCBmBm site?

Or does one have to do all the downloads manually now??

Since bintray was taken down, you have to download and install manually now from orangedox, or build it yourself. I have not moved it to another package manager service.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks Peter for the info.
Do you expect at some point to find an alternative package manager?
Or is there an issue of supporting a package manager being challenging or costly or against myhtv philosophy?

More just wanting to know whether to wait for a solution or whether it will never come

Thanks again for your work in supporting a rpi myhtv solution!!!

The MythTV team do not officially release compiled packages, only source code. So I do this on my own.

I have not looked for another package manager for this. I am not focused on raspberry pi at the moment. The latest version of MythTV for Raspberry pi has a number of problems, and I am not using it personally.

Ahh so makes sense then to stick with the earlier one that was on the binary package manager?

Also, how hard is it to compile?
Is it best to compile on a native rpi platform or is it better/easier to x-compile with an arm toolchain on an x86 Ubuntu system?

This is discussed in other Raspberry topics, but I find it fastest to compile on a RPI4 on Raspberry PI OS 64bit.
I clone the mythtv repository per https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Build_from_Source
I then set the dependencies per thread viewtopic.php?f=46&t=4542#p22539
Since I also build the backend, I build the mythtv-light packages cloning https://github.com/MythTV/packaging/tre ... /deb-light
I create a ~/.buildrc file with

Code: Select all

 MYTHTV_CONFIG_OPT_EXTRA="--disable-vdpau --enable-opengl --disable-vaapi --enable-libmp3lame --arch=aarch64"
To speed things up I edit ~/packaging/deb-light/build.sh to force "make -j 5"

To build the backend stuff, I clone and use https://github.com/MikeB2013/pi-utils
You only need the pi-mythbackend-helper.sh script.
