<div>So last time I went through this process (14.04 -->
16.04) it was a total unmitigated disaster as nothing worked
afterwards. Apparently the combination of switching to systemd
and a major upgrade to a new version of mysql just broke
everything. I restored from backup and stayed on 14 for a
while longer. waited until a slow weekend to do a complete
16.04 install from scratch and restored all the recordings and
mythtv database and everything has been smooth sailing ever
since.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Hopefully with fewer drastic changes under the hood,
in-place upgrading to 18.04.1 will be less dramatic....</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>But what would be the best way to go about it given that
the mythtv PPA is not part of the ubuntu distribution?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Options:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>1. do an in-place do-release-upgrade, re-add the mythbuntu
PPA afterwards and hope for the best?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>2. remove the mythbuntu PPA before doing the upgrade,
do-release-upgrade, and re-add the ppa? </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>3. apt remove (or purge?) mythtv* and other myth-related
packages before doing the upgrade, do-release-upgrade, add the
PPA and reinstall all the packages?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>or 4. LEAVE WELL ENOUGH ALONE and stay on 16.04 until 2021.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks</div>

Option 4. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I'm still using
Mythbuntu 14.04 with 0.28. I only upgraded from 0.27 because
something stopped working (meta data lookups I think). As a bonus,
0.28 came with H.265 support. I have a second frontend (NUC) that
uses 16.04 with 0.28, but that was so I could get updated video
drivers to support VAAPI which was needed with the 0.28 update (0.27
was fine on the NUC without it).<br>
