Hi,
There are more and more people starting to build vdr-Packages in their Launchpad PPAs which makes it easier for newbees to install VDR+XBMC-PVR-Testing on Ubuntu. The latest news is that gda (from vdr-portal.de) has now started to work on VDR 1.7.9 packages + plugins in one of his PPA's.
Based on my own experience, I would like to recommend to newbees to use the following PPA's (saying this, I don't want to underestimate the work of other people maintaing their PPA's):
For Ubuntu Jaunty you have the following options:
* XBMC-enabled VDR 1.6 + Plugins from gda's PPA (https://launchpad.net/~gda-dachsweb/+archive/vdr)
* XBMC-PVR-Testing for Jaunty from my PPA (https://launchpad.net/~henningpingel/+archive/xbmc)
For Ubuntu Karmic you have the following options:
* Brand new (untested) XBMC-enabled VDR 1.7.9 packages + Plugins from gda's other PPA (https://launchpad.net/~gda-dachsweb/+archive/vdr-devel)
* XBMC-PVR-Testing for Karmic from my PPA (https://launchpad.net/~henningpingel/+archive/xbmc)
Cheers,
