[Bug 201821] Re: Please backport MythTV version .21 to Feisty

[DjkMyth]

Thanks, that's very nice of you.  That would be great except I have an
AMD, using x86-64 :-(

I had considered either doing a compile from source, or even just
installing all the updated packages manually and seeing if that
worked.

But I wondered how the new version would react to seeing the old
database - does the new mythbackend automatically revise the database
upon first run, or is there some other step required?

Cheers,
DJK

BTW did you ever have stability problems with the backend crashing?
If so, I'd be interested to see if that improves with the new version.
 Not everyone's does, but mine crashes regularly enough for me to do
something about it, and then I was encouraged to share the 'solution'.
 If you're interested, it's at:
