[mythtv-users] Upgrade and moving of backend

[Gareth Glaccum]

  From: Brad DerManouelian 
  It sounds to me like instead of going to trunk you want to check out the -fixes branch and build from that so you're still at 0.21 and have a stable system. Then when you get that free time, you can easily upgrade to the trunk branch.


  The bottom line is that you can never mix versions of MythTV. If you want to use 0.21-fixes, use it on all machines. If you want to try you hand with trunk, it must be on all machines. You should just get a protocol mismatch error if you try to run trunk fronend against 0.21-fixes backend. If it's actually performing an upgrade then that is wrong behavior.


  -Brad
That sounds perfect! Thanks! I was in fact thinking of using encap for 'package management' so being able to move from the -fixes to trunk when the time comes and back (if it all goes horrible) would be easy, if I can keep the database safe. 
If anyone is interested, this is what happened when I ran a 0.22 frontend, I didn't let it get any further, I didn't want to risk the possibility of an upgrade (seeing as it was a running backend).
Thanks,
Gareth
