[mythtv-users] apt-get upgrades?

[Dan Boger]

I noticed that there's a new version of xmltv out there.  Then I
wondered if I should upgrade.  I tried "apt-get upgrade xmltv", and
got the following list:

[mythtv]$ sudo apt-get upgrade xmltv

Seems like a lot of upgrades.  Did anyone try it?  Is it safe?  What's
people's usual policy about such things?  Upgrade only if something is
broken?

Thanks!
