[mythtv-users] Updating mythtv with atrpms without updating kernel and kmdls

[Chris Isip]

I used this the last time I upgraded with atrpms.  It queries your installed
myth rpms and passes them on to yum.  Can't guarantee it will work.  Test it
first.

rpm -qa | grep myth | tr -d "0-9." | sed 's/--.*$//g'| xargs yum -y
--disablerepo=livna upgrade
