You are already using latin1 throughout your database? You are lucky |
25 |
if that's true. It isn't for me but I've been running myth for about 4 |
26 |
years now. |

I would suggest that if you use __any__ remote frontends and there is |
29 |
any chance of someone else powering one up and using Myth then you |
30 |
should first emerge -C mythtv on ALL frontend-only machines, upgrade |
31 |
your server, emerge mythtv-0.22 on one frontend, make sure it works, |
32 |
and then move on with any other machine. |

Good luck and report back how it goes! |
