[mythtv-users] Change in available RPM's from atrpms

[Brian D. Frost]

Do you all do dist upgrades or rebuild your whole system? It is not much fun redoing all of the setups for myth (lirc, sound, rss, etc) but I have always feared the dist-upgrade... I am still running FC5.

I try to do a dist re-install whenever a major Myth version is released.

If you're running a dedicated MythTV box, or a workstation that
doesn't need the latest and greatest kernel/hw support, I'd strongly
suggest you look into installing CentOS 5 instead of Fedora 7 to get
out of the short Fedora lifecycle 'issue'.

Saying that, I'm still running FC4/2.6.16 on a couple of MythTV
machines because i) they're on an internal network, and ii) they're
very stable. Hopefully I'll get them moved over to CentOS before the
end of the summer.
