Description
Feature patch - use internal libbluray for CentOS 8
In 54db9139afd44fa46a23b1347a1107f61515148a the preference was to use the system provided libbluray, and for those OS's that should have a current libbluray, require it be installed (or die). However, while 18 months ago presuming CentOS 8 would have a usable libbluray may have made sense, it turns out that it does not(1)(2). Let's punt by pushing the problem out until CentOS 9. And if the CentOS 8 situation gets cleaned up at some point, this patch can be reverted.
(1) It's (very) complicated. And it looks to get differently complicated over the next short time period.
(2) And for those wondering, the CentOS 8 buildbot worker, that has been successfully building MythTV, has had some manual interventions by the provider to allow it to build MythTV without this patch. But that is not likely sustainable in the general case, and not something the project likely wants to promulgate for normal users.
Lightly tested on CentOS 8 running configure.
Proposed patch:
