Title:
  Newer version of MythTV fixing some major bugs needs an SRU

Status in “mythtv” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “mythtv” source package in Precise:
  New

Bug description:
  For each MythTV release, upstream keeps a "fixes" branch where they
  commit fixes (rather than features) of bugs found in that release.
  This has quite a few fixes for some major bugs found in the version
  released with 12.04 and be uploaded as an SRU.

  [IMPACT]

   * Minor issues aside, some of the major issues in the 12.04 release are
      * Running mythfilldatabase takes much longer (hours instead of minutes) to run due to MySQL 5.5 using the innodb engine by default. ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mythtv/+bug/997367 )
      * One of the most popular tuner cards failed recording when run in Digital Cable mode ( http://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/10712 )

   * Mythbuntu is doing LTS only releases, thus this needs to be fixed
  in the point release ISOs.

  [TESTCASE]

   * Install a MythTV backend, sign up for an account at
  http://www.schedulesdirect.org/, configure mythtv-backend, run
  mythfilldatabase --dd-grab-all. This will take a few hours to run and
  disk IO will be high.

  [Regression Potential]

   * The MythTV set of packages are isolated in that nothing is built
  against them. There should be no regression as the fixes are on MythTV
  itself.

   * The Mythbuntu team provides a PPA with builds of MythTV where these
  fixes have been tested on 12.04. We've not heard any negative feedback
  on these fixes.
