[21:38] <qwebirc50945> Is it possible to install only the frontend package from the mythbuntu ppa? From what I can tell only the entire mythtv package is available.
[21:39] <tgm4883> qwebirc50945: yes
[21:40] <qwebirc50945> Is there some trick to it? I need to install 0.27 frontend on Ubuntu 16.04. I added the PPA but installing mythtv-frontend installs the binaries from the main Ubuntu repos.
[21:42] <qwebirc50945> When I run: apt-cache madison mythtv-frontend
[21:42] <qwebirc50945> I see
[21:42] <qwebirc50945> mythtv-frontend | 2:0.28.0+fixes.20160413.15cf421-0ubuntu2 | http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/multiverse amd64 Packages
[21:42] <qwebirc50945> No 0.27 option available
[21:44] <qwebirc50945> I've double checked my apt sources and the Mythbuntu 0.27 PPA is definitely active
[21:44] <tgm4883> qwebirc50945: there aren't any 0.27 packages for 16.04
[21:48] <qwebirc50945> So installing from source is my only option? I have a 0.27 backend so I can't use the frontend package distributed in 16.04.
[21:51] <tgm4883> qwebirc50945: yea, or you could upgrade your backend
[21:52] <qwebirc50945> tgm4883: ok, thanks.
[22:38] <qwebirc50945> Building 0.27 from source. Is there a configuration flag to build only frontend? I tried --disable-backend but it still says it's going to build the backend.
