Re: Error in trying to build MythTV v 0.29 in Debian 9.6

I modified the changelog . in (and maybe changelog, don't remember now) in the debian folder by just appending -kevin to the version in the changelog, and did a local git commit (otherwise it gets overwritten). I then deleted the mythtv folder, and let the build script recreate it. It then proceeded to build as normal.

Hope this helps!

What is the command to perform a local git commit?

You da man. That worked. I edited /build/packaging/deb/debian/changelog.in and added a "-stretch" to the end of the myth version on the first line.

i.e.

mythtv (2:29.1+fixes-stretch) bionic; urgency=medium

then

$ git add changelog.in
$ git commit

I then changed to correct build directory

$ cd /build/packaging/deb/
$ ./build-debs.sh fixes/29

This successfully completed the building of the debs.

Thank you for the detailed instructions kommiisar6. Being a CentOS man, I'm finding myself pushed into Debian because of my Raspberry Pis. A good thing to have a more up-to-date OS than CentOS. I was trying to get Myth installed on a ECS Liva and was disappointed to discover there are no prebuilt packages for AMD64.

It's happily compiling now.

...and happily compiled.
