On any new EOS/arch system I build, one of the first things I install is an AUR package called mythtv-git. I use yay -S mythtv-git to accomplish this.
I’ve never been able to build this without yay since a lot of the dependencies are also AUR packages. However, now I’m in a situation where I need to patch the software manually prior to building it.
I’m guessing I can use yay as before and wait until it fails and then patch it in the .cache/yay/mythtv-git directory and then makepkg from there.
yes that would work if the PKGBUILD file is what I need to patch. I have to patch some files related to the new version of some ffmpeg files. What I do now is go into the .cache/yay/mythtv-git directory and put in the libx265.patch file and run the following commands.
