Enable libcec support in mythtv

Does this *really* need a newer version of libcec? Or will the version in precise do the trick? If the version in precise will do the trick, then this can be closed as I just backported that to the 0.25 and 0.26 PPA's on all the builds they do.

If this requires a newer version than that in precise, we really need to get that fixed first before backporting.

It needs 1.0.5, and precise has 1.0.3 (as does debian unstable)

The hardware manufacturer has a PPA with 1.0.5, but the packaging is slightly different to the upstream one and doens't cleanly install over it.

This bug was fixed in the package libcec - 1.6.1-1

---------------
libcec (1.6.1-1) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Mario Limonciello ]
  * New upstream version (LP: #982272)

  [ Andres Mejia ]
  * New release fixes build failure with GCC-4.7. (Closes: #667241)
  * Bump to Standards-Version 3.9.3.

OK, gotten 1.6.1 in Debian, and Precise. I just did the backports to the Mythbuntu 0.25 PPA as well. So next autobuild on the PPA should have it.

I've confirmed tonight's autobuilds have it enabled. To be clear, this is not functional in precise, only in autobuilds ATM.

Hello Bradley, or anyone else affected,

Accepted mythtv into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mythtv/2:0.25.2+fixes.20120802.46cab93-0ubuntu1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please change the bug tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not, change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

CEC requires special hardware though, so I don't know we'll be able to validate any further (unless the reporter also tests the SRU).

The verification of this Stable Release Update has completed successfully and the package has now been released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regresssions.

The Precise Pangolin has reached end of life, so this bug will not be fixed for that release
