I’m considering upgrading my Mythtv backend to CentOS 7
since there are some other features it has that I need
over CentOS 6.<br class="">
<br class="">
I have read the page over at <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://mythtv.org/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" class="">mythtv.org</a> that says, basically,
“it works well.” Aside of that, does anyone have any
“gotchas” to share? Or, is 0.28 of Mythtv close enough
on the horizon that I should wait for its release before
upgrading</blockquote>

<div class="">The biggest issue is that the version of QT is too
old for 0.27 and the QT5 from EPEL is not compatible
with 0.27.</div>

I don't recall having any trouble with QT, but frankly it was so
long ago I probably just forgot. Either that, or the reason I
didn't have trouble is that I compile 0.27 from source. I'm using:<br class="">
<br class="">
qt-4.8.5-8.el7.x86_64<br class="">
qt-devel-4.8.5-8.el7.x86_64<br class="">
<br class="">
The biggest trouble I continue to have with CentOS 7 is the
abomination that is systemd, but that's off-topic :-).<br class="">

I see that Stephen Collier has not compiled QT for EL7. Checking my
one CentOS 7 host:<br class="">
<br class="">

It looks like the base distro *does* have the correct QT version. I
am not yet running Myth on CentOS 7.<br class="">
<br class="">
Alas I cannot address the issue of systemd other than to say that
having had to install a few Fedora hosts, it is the future as laid
down by Red Hat. We adapt. I have learned how to go from init
scripts to Upstart and now to systemd. I've even modified a couple
of systemd startup scripts. It's been doable.<br class="">
