Mailing List Archive: Quick HOWTO: Upgrading from 0.8 to latest CVS release

I couldn't find one, so I figured I'd write one up... I'm using RedHat
9...

1. First, we stop the existing mythtv.
# pkill mythfrontend
# service mythbackend stop
# service mysqld stop

2. Back up your existing configurations, just to be careful.
# tar cf /tmp/mythconfig.tar /usr/share/mythtv /usr/local/share/mythtv

3. Let's go somewhere safe...
# cd /usr/local/src/
# mkdir -p myth/cvs
# cd myth/cvs

4. We get mythtv (blatantly stolen from the web page)
# cvs -d :pserver:mythtv@cvs.mythtv.org:/var/lib/mythcvs login
Logging in to :pserver:mythtv@cvs.mythtv.org:/var/lib/mythcvs
CVS password: mythtv
# cvs -z3 -d :pserver:mythtv@cvs.mythtv.org:/var/lib/mythcvs checkout mythtv

5. Get the other modules too, while we're at it...
# cvs -z3 -d :pserver:mythtv@cvs.mythtv.org:/var/lib/mythcvs checkout mythweb
# cvs -z3 -d :pserver:mythtv@cvs.mythtv.org:/var/lib/mythcvs checkout mythmusic
# cvs -z3 -d :pserver:mythtv@cvs.mythtv.org:/var/lib/mythcvs checkout mythvideo
# cvs -z3 -d :pserver:mythtv@cvs.mythtv.org:/var/lib/mythcvs checkout mythgallery
# cvs -z3 -d :pserver:mythtv@cvs.mythtv.org:/var/lib/mythcvs checkout mythgame
# cvs -z3 -d :pserver:mythtv@cvs.mythtv.org:/var/lib/mythcvs checkout mythweather

6. Build mythtv via the usual method... mythtv first, then the other
modules. Note that I'm using the atrpms, which put the binaries into
/usr/bin. When building from source it places them into
/usr/local/bin. Make sure that your $PATH variable is set to look at
/usr/local/bin before /usr/bin OR create symlinks from the files in
/usr/bin to /usr/local/bin...

7. Start the database
# service mysqld start

8. Just in case, I editted and copied
mythtv/configfiles/etc.sysconfig.mythbackend to
/etc/sysconfig/mythbackend

9. Update the database.
# cd /usr/local/src/myth/cvs/mythtv/database
# mysql < 0-8-to-0-9.sql

10. Start the backend
# service mythbackend start

11. Run the setup just to confirm that your settings are correct.
# cd /usr/local/src/myth/cvs/mythtv/setup
# ./setup

12. Start mythfrontend and play!

Have fun!

For building mythmusic, I had to hack mythmusic/mythmusic/cddecoder.h
and mythmusic/mythmusic/cdrip.cpp as such:

Find
#include <cdda_interface.h>
#include <cdda_interface.h>

and replace with:
#include <cdda/cdda_interface.h>
#include <cdda/cdda_interface.h>

to get them to compile.

Additional steps - it turns out that my mythvideo settings were
overwritten. So I copied back in the original entries into
/usr/share/mythtv/mythvideo-settings.txt. I also had to hack back in
DVD support into the main menu, put my icon for it back, and move it
into the right place on the main screen (so that the Setup icon has to
be scrolled to instead of the DVD icon!)
