The problem with building from source, if you are not a
developer, is that it takes time to set that <br>
build system up the first time and become familiar with it.
Then, by the time you come to do the <br>
next upgrade, you have forgotten how it all works and maybe
the system has changed anyway.<br>
<br>
For myth, uprgades/updates come sufficiently infrequently
that the use of repos such as <br>
deb-multimedia are adequate for the purpose, even for
someone like me who *is* a developer. 'apt <br>
update; apt upgrade' is quick and easy and keeps myth in
step with the rest of the software.<br>
<br>
The OP has also said that he has two frontends he cannot yet
upgrade; building from source risks <br>
that, even though he selects the same myth version,
something will not be compatible. Using the same <br>
repo on every myth host ensures that all systems are exactly
in lockstep.<br>

Jim,<br>
<br>
Sorry if this is obvious, but I want to be sure. I thin you are
suggesting that I follow your link and the steps in it to build 0.31
.deb packages for 31 and install it in bookworm. Is this correct? I
will give it a try over coming weekend. <br>
<br>
Someone suggested pinning myth to 31 before switching from
bullseye to bookworm. Do you think that will work? I ask because I
have a couple of other hosts running 31 in bullseye and eventually I
will have to upgrade them to bookworm. So, wondering, if there is an
easy way out of this upgrade issue. Of course, moving to myth 33 is
the right move, but prefer to wait on that till I know I can live
with a week of downtime, if things go wrong.<br>
<br>
