  LinHES-config: during install don't kill off lirc.  This keeps the remote active all the way to the finish
  Change version numbers to 8.0  to match the release number. LinHES-conifg LinHES-system mythdb-initial runit-scripts supplemental-web
  LinHES-conifig: mv_install.py  for the last partition don't go all the way to the end.  Gotta leave room for gpt tables.
  xf86-video-ati: xorg ati driver.
  LinHES-config: timezip.py  add syncing up of parental lvl passwords and starting level with MBE.
  LinHES-system: correct the logic for breaking out of the wmctrl loop.   As written it would break out of the inner loop..but not the 60 iteration loop.
  e16_theme_settings:  remove slide-in prop for new windows.   For whatever reason this was preventing mplayer from being positioned correctly for appletrailers.
  LinHES-config, mythinstall:  change  case of hd_pvr and   serial to all lower refs #902
  zilog-firmware:   firmware for TX support of the hdpvr and pvr-150 In general I can't recommend anybody using these transmitters  but including the firmware just in case someone really wants to
  linhes-udev-rules:  added hdprv_lirc rule. All of these lirc rules are limited to exactly one device.  If more then one device is present then only the last device in init will get the symlink
  runit-scripts:  fix logging for igdeamon,   add support to remote init script so that the blaster is always the first device in the chain. added support specificly for hd_pvr
  LinHES-system:   add lh_system_restore and lh_system_backup.  These scripts are called from the mythmenu. refs #900
  iguanair: rebuild with python 2.7
  LinHES-system: msg_daemon.py fix  init and nasty bug related to timeout. In a nutshell timeout wouldn't work unless a msg without a timeout was called first.
  linhes-udev-rules:  add rules for mce,streamzap,serial  lirc devices.
  mythinstall: recompile for matching libs
  mythtv:  latest .25-fixes  and change mythbackup/restore call lh_system_$op   to replace mythbackup/mythrestore.  mythbackup no longer works correctly with the new windowmanager
  linhes-scripts: myth2mp3, myth2x264, myth2xvid: use mythutil to get cutlist
  LinHES-config, supplimental-web:  Fix proxy numbering for Ceton infiniTV
  linhes-system:  add additional stuff to the system backup and also introduced an exclude file. The exclude/include files are locate in /home/mythtv/backup_config/

+Previous revision history for Net::SFTP
+
+0.09  2005.01.16
+    - New co-maintainer, David Robins (DBROBINS).
+    - Adds a 'warn' argument to the constructor to allow supression or
+      redirection of warnings.
+    - Allows the 'ssh_args' constructor argument to be either a hash ref or an
+      array ref.
+    - Adds a 'status' method which returns the last SSH2_FX_* status value, or
+      (status value, text) in list context (only useful after last failure).
+    - Adds brief summary comments to some methods.
+	- Returns failure if the remote open fails for 'get' (previous code ignored
+      it); also moves the remote open before the local open so that we don't
+      create empty local files if the remote file can't be opened.
+	- Changes 'ls' to return an array reference in scalar context.
+	- Documents: the fact that we die on protocol/local errors; the new option
+      and method; changes to 'get'/'put' (formerly 'put' didn't return anything
+      useful, and 'get's actual return values are the same, just better
+      documented).
+	- Adds a comprehensive remote test, but to use it one has to manually go in
+      and configure a server a certain way, so it defaults to skipping
+      everything; I'm including it as a base since there are currently no remote
+      tests at all.
+
+0.08  2003.12.12
+    - Net::SFTP::Buffer was passing an invalid option when loading
+      Net::SSH::Perl::Buffer.
+    - Add SUPPORT section to the docs.
+
+0.07  2003.11.14
+    - Require Net::SSH::Perl 1.24, which also includes circular
+      reference fixes.
+
+0.06  2003.11.14
+    - New maintainer, Dave Rolsky.
+    - Fixed a circular reference which caused connections to be held
+      open indefinitely in a persistent environment like mod_perl.
+      This uses weak references, so Perl 5.6.0+ is now required.  This
+      work was funded by Kineticode, Inc.
+    - Added a LICENSE file.
+
+0.05  2001.05.24
+    - Added help ('h' or '?') command to psftp. Moved all shell
+      functionality into Net::SFTP::Shell.
+    - Net::SFTP::Util needed to 'use Exporter'.
+
+0.04  2001.05.16
+    - Fixed bug in put method when running fsetstat command; it
+      was trying to set the UID/GID on the remote file, which
+      was giving a permission denied message. Should not try to
+      set UID/GID, so had to adjust flags.
+    - Added eg/psftp, a working SFTP shell.
+    - Moved READ and WRITE commands into their own methods
+      (do_read and do_write, respectively).
+    - Changed semantics of get method. Returning the contents of
+      the remote file is no longer connected to whether a local
+      file is passed as an argument; it is instead based on the
+      calling context of 'get'. Updated docs to reflect this.
+
+0.03  2001.05.15
+    - Documentation for all extra classes: Attributes, Buffer,
+      Constants, and Util.
+    - Documentation for command methods in Net::SFTP.
+    - Added binmode when reading/writing from local files.
+    - Added methods for all remaining commands in SFTP protocol
+      version 3 (eg. remove, rmdir, mkdir, realpath, etc.).
+    - Added callbacks to get and put, eg. for status messages,
+      etc.
+    - Fixed typo in Net::SFTP::Buffer::get_int64 that was breaking
+      reading 64-bit ints.
+
+0.02  2001.05.14
+    - Fixed bug with SSH2 server not sending one message per
+      packet, ie. multiple packets have to be retrieved to make
+      up one SFTP message. This would show up as a "Message length
+      too long" error. Thanks to Matt Good for the spot.
+    - Fixed bug with OpenSSH and SSH2 SFTP servers where after
+      a certain amount of bytes the connection would hang. This
+      was a bug in Net::SSH::Perl (channel window sizes) that is
+      fixed in version 1.13.
+
+0.01  2001.05.13
+    - original version; created by h2xs 1.19
