Arch Linux

I can confirm this problem and also the suggested temporary fix.

Same thing here.

The libsensors library is only used by the mythbackend program - all other myth programs _should_ be unaffected - myth seems to use this library to enumerate devices.

Three source files need modification - programs/mythbackend/mainserver.cpp and programs/mythbackend/mythxml.cpp both need an #include statement (to sensors/chips.h) removing, and programs/mythbackend/httpstatus.cpp needs a re-write of part of HttpStatus::FillStatusXML function to support the new library. I'll post a patch if I figger it out.

The attached patch fixes the problem I think; it'll need to be compiled on a host with the lm_sensor-3.0.0 headers installed, and I've maintained the pre-lmsensors-3.0.0 for backward compatibility.

I used the package source http://www.archlinux.org/~paul/mythtv-0.20.2.20070828.tar.gz

I've compiled this on my machine and have encountered no problems running myth. I would suggest someone checks my code though... ;)

I hate to be a bitch, but isn't this why there is a testing repo, so when there is a major version upgrade of some library, we find these broken packages before it gets incorporated into stable.

edit: corrected a preprocessor error in my patch

Greg: in theory yes I think so, this one obviously escaped through! Hopefully only this one though... lol.

So... Who is the maintainer, and when will this patch be included in the Community package?

I'm pretty sure mythtv is in extra.

I'm pretty sure mythtv is in extra, which is why it is so egregious that lm_sensors went right into stable before spending a few days in testing.

oops, sorry about the double post. I hit refresh by accident.

I will try to rebuild now with the patch.

New mythtv-0.20.2.20071129-1 in testing works off new stable snapshot and also patches against lm_sensors 3.0.0.

Works here, thanks
