Howdy Tom,

I believe you are looking for the following two links:

https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/tree/dkristjansson/mythtv-rec

Users can compile their own, using the developer's cheatsheet guide:

http://mythbuntu.org/wiki/developer-cheatsheet#Building

To keep up-to-date with stuff being added to 0.24-fixes regularly,
there are the following options:

1) Users can manually run the git build script every so often to spit out debs
2) or cron just that build script
3) or cron a modified autobuilds that only builds for their specific
distro version and only the fixes checkout.  Something approximating
the following should modify autobuilds to spit out debs rather than
source files, which should be a fairly minor change... something
approximating:
> #sed s/build-dsc.sh/build-debs.sh/ <http://build-dsc.sh/build-debs.sh/>
> build-mythtv.sh -i

Any changes the a user makes to bzr packaging or git source locally
should automatically rebase when the script is called, and should work
without any problems on a chroot.
