<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Just my 2 cents worth...<br>
<br>
If your a noob and want to learn how linux works and for that case Myth you
should go with SVN... I mean it's just a computer running software... breaking
and fixing is part of the learning process. <br>
<br>
Don't let people sway you from taking a chance and trying something new... ;)
go for it!<br>
<br>
<span style='color:#1F497D'>I whole-heartedly agree with this, but right now I don’t
really have a clear idea of how SVN is supposed to work, so I’ve put it
off—it’s that whole “look before you leap” mentality.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><br>
<span style='color:#1F497D'>I’m also a relative noob when it comes to
linux. I’ve compiled some things from source--even a working version of
Myth from SVN on a test box. The thing that I was never clear on is how the pro’s
handle updates from SVN. Maybe this is just because I don’t understand SVN
well enough, but I remember looking at every guide I could find on installing MythTV
from SVN and I didn’t find the answers to the following questions:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span style='color:#1F497D'>Say
I check out a copy of MythTv from SVN and store it in /usr/src/mythtv. Should I
then run ./configure in that directory or should I make a temp copy of the
source and compile that? And what happens when a new rev is released—is
there a special command to simply update the changes in /usr/src/mythtv? Do I
need to re-configure everything or just run make?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span style='color:#1F497D'>If
someone who does this regularly could outline the techniques they use to manage
MythTV-SVN or tell me where to find a pre-existing guide, I’m sure I’d
make the jump. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
