11 QT3 and QT4 are different, MythTV 0.21 needs QT3, 0.22 needs QT4. One
12 good thing about this is that QT4 uses split ebuilds, so you need install
13 much less of Qt for a Myth backend.

15 Upgrading from 0.21 to 0.22 was painless AFAIR. I made a backup of the
16 database but didn't need. You do need to upgrade all backends and
17 frontends at the same time, but then it's just a matter of restarting
18 them and you're OK. I did "emerge --onlydeps mythtv && emerge -B mythtv"
19 first so that I could then run emerge -k mythtv on the server to minimise
20 the time it was down.
