Moving from the current trunk to 0.22 will be painless and will just
require a simple upgrade.

Packages in my repository are 100% compatible with mythbuntu packages.
There are however differences in the number versioning.

So if you want to go from my packages to mythbuntu, you will need to
do the following:
-Disable my repository
-Uninstall all mythtv related packages
-Enable Mythbuntu repository
-apt/synaptic Update
-Install mythtv packages.

The database is left intact and nothing will be lost.

To go from mythbuntu to my packages it's a bit simpler:
-Enable my repository
-apt/synaptic update
-upgrade

That assumes you move from 0.21 to 0.22, 0.22 to 0.22, 0.21 to 0.22
0.22 to 0.21 isn't supported (and won't be)

Which packages you want to use is up to you.

Once 0.22 comes out, there will be littled advantage in using my
packages over mythbuntu as they mostly be identical.
