[mythtv-users] rpms for mythtv 0.15

[Josh Burks]

Since my kernel and ivtv drivers are very stable (by my standards, I 
reboot once a month for good measure), here are the steps I took to upgrade.

Note: I build my system following Jarod's Guide back in Feb, and I'm 
using ATrpms for my rpm repo.

1. Stop the frontend and the backend.
2. apt-get update
3. apt-get install wget
4. apt-get install mythtv-suite
5. mythtvsetup, answered "no" to both questions, and after I setup a 
DataDirect account
6. mythfilldatabase, grabbed 12 days worth of programs for ~75 channels 
in about 2 minutes.
7. start the backend
8. start the frontend
9. verify all went well, and it went better than expected!

I opted to try to upgrade without upgrading my kernel and ivtv drivers, 
because last time (back in Feb.) when I attempted to upgrade the whole 
system, I broke everything. So I started from scratch, and glad I did.

I hope yours goes as well as my (the whole process took me 15 minutes 
total!)
