I like upgrading early, because I guess I like to fix things. So I'm on
day 3 of Fedora 21 on my system.
I have been digging into this one and I think I'm at a solution, but I'd
like input as to what is the most sane answer.
After upgrading, I had one recording fail, but several other test
recordings have worked.
My /etc/mythtv/config.xml was 0 byte file after the upgrade. I linked it
to my user's config.xml
The "reason" given by the abrt daemon (crash logger) is:
cache_file.py:255:_init_cache:TMDBCacheWriteError: User does not have
permission to write cache file: /etc/mythtv/pytmdb3.cache.
So it appears that maybe $MYTHCONFDIR should be set to my user's home
instead? That is what the mythbackend.service file says. It is currently
set to /etc/mythtv. But it has always worked before.
I saw a note about $MYTHCACHEDIR. Is this something I should set?
What if I chown mythtv:mythtv /etc/mythtv? It was at root:root. I run the
backend as user mythtv, and I gave him a shell instead of /sbin/nologin so
I can do mythtv-setup properly. All the icons and things got dumped in
there, strangely, even though /etc/mythtv was formerly root:root.
[root at htpc mythtv]# ls -l
total 16
drwxr-xr-x. 2 mythtv mythtv 4096 Dec 16 2013 3rdParty
drwxr-xr-x. 2 mythtv mythtv 4096 Dec 16 2013 channels
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 Dec 12 12:22 config.xml ->
/home/myuser/.mythtv/config.xml
drwxr-xr-x. 2 mythtv mythtv 4096 Dec 16 2013 themes
drwxr-xr-x. 4 mythtv mythtv 4096 Dec 17 2013 tmp
[root at htpc mythtv]#
This setup may be a little scrambled and I'm asking for any input to make
this saner.
What do you folks recommend?

---other notes---
Fedora 21 has php 5.6.x and that seems to run smoothly with mythweb. Php
upgrades have not always been so smooth for me. :)
I think things are basically working. It looks like some artwork grabbing
failed twice. I have two nearly identical crashes.
I did a FedUp upgrade and it has been nearly painless. I think there were
7 rpms that didn't upgrade, and I could account for all of them. I did a
mock upgrade on a virtual machine first, and I recommend that so you can
try it out first, just to see how things go. I couldn't test everything
but it made me more comfortable.
Sorry for the long post. I'll report more errors if they occur.
