Just "upgraded" - Started with a new clone from AUR, built and installed without issues. Just one observation, when installing, pacman thought I was "downgrading" the existing package, which I'm sure is just because of a syntax difference between the apparent version numbers, and is safe to ignore during this transition.
From pacman.log:
downgraded mythtv (1:31.0-3 -> 31+fixes.20201012.eb3c84de-1)
Since I built my latest mythtv build from mythtv-git to get to a more current build of v31, how do I move over to this mythtv package? My goal is to follow a package that stays on V31 and tracks the latest commits, but not move to v32 ever. To me V32 should be new AUR package.
Hi @RuneArch. Sorry but I don't use any of the MythTV plugins so I don't think I'd be a good maintainer for that package. I'm happy to work with any maintainer to help these packages work well together.
This package now tracks the MythTV fixes/31 branch. There are quite a few upstream bugfixes since the v31 release.
Thanks to Taijian and all the previous maintainers for their efforts.
Whenever a commit is made by MythTV's git upstream you can rebuild this package without waiting for an update. Please don't flag it as out of date just because there's a new commit. Occasionally I'll push updates manually to stop the version from looking too old. I'll also push updates whenever a packaging change is needed for the build to work.
Just to add... are you taking ownership of mythplugins too?
Just chiming in with my support @delx - thanks!
@delx I would be grateful for this (How would people feel about me adopting this modifying it to track the fixes/31 branch) and offer my entire cache of encouragement :)
@delx Thanks for the suggestion on AUR helpers. I installed 'yay' and then used it to install mythtv-git on a completely fresh Archlinux system and it worked great.
Hi @jfabernathy. Most of the dependencies for mythtv and mythtv-git are available in the core+extra Arch Linux repositories. For the AUR dependencies you will indeed need to build them yourself. There are tools called AUR helpers which can assist with this.
Another newbie question since you are about to look into this project. This could be me misunderstanding how things work but when I built mythtv the first time, it failed due to missing dependencies. So I had to go to each dependency that it was complaining about, then search aur for it, and do the git. Then makepkg -si for each one. Then I could makepkg -si for mythtv itself. Is this normal? Or am I missing something I should know.

This package replaces the previous 'mythtv' AUR package. It has been renamed to comply with Arch's VCS package guidelines.
I hope to update the various mythplugins AUR packages soon
