I have Mythbuntu 16.04 running fine (with 0.28)

Is it worth the pain to upgrade to version 29?

Not painful for me at all in Arch Linux:

1. sudo pacman -Syu
2. run mythtv-setup
3. Reboot

I had no pain at all this time - the upgrade was very straightforward.
But I have only upgraded my test PC so far - I have to wait until my
mother gets out of hospital as she is using 0.28 on my laptop there
and I need to stay compatible.

I found this in another mailing list archive and wondered if it is what
this list recommends:-

Backup the database manually and copy it to somewhere safe (this is
just for safety) see
https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Database_Backup_and_Restore

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mythbuntu/0.29
sudo apt update
sudo apt dist-upgrade

then reboot the machine

repeat for any slave backends and frontends

Yes, that is about all that is needed. After the upgrade, you might
like to visit the /etc/apt/sources.d directory and delete the old
0.28-fixes PPA files.

Oops, typo - the directory is /etc/apt/sources.list.d

The "correct" way would be

sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:mythbuntu/0.28
