My humble apologies for including a SVN version in R5A22. It was a
mistake. This has been rectified alnog with a few other small fixes.

Been wondering if I should post this or not, so I'm posting with
the hope that perhaps it's possible to "head off some problems at
the pass." Should someone mention the
a) danger,
b) issues, or
c) proper approach (including downgrading the DB Schema)
of "upgrading" from R5A22 to R5A26? (Option c being the ideal.)
Going from anything before R5A22 to R5A26 isn't a problem, but
those users who upgraded to R5A22 have a database version
(somewhere at or after 1095) greater than that expected by R5A26
(probably 1083) and are likely to have problems with an upgrade to
R5A26.
OK... for the sake of argument, lets say I wiped my R5A22 install
and installed R5A26 from scratch... but then restored the
mythconverg database from A22 into my A26 install... Am I screwed?
The restore probably won't work right. You'll have to edit the
restore script to deal with things like basename and progstart and
progend columns in the recorded table (although it's possible MySQL
will "do its best with what it's got"). Probably many other similar
issues.
Then, once you get it working, you'll need to rename any recordings
that use the new filename format (i.e. chanid_starttime.{nuv,mpg}) to
the old filename format (i.e. chanid_starttime_endtime.nuv).
And then you'd have to take care of any other issues that I haven't
anticipated...
So, in all, it's probably more work than it's worth.
It may well be more trouble... but hey that's were I am right now.... :/
The db version is indeed 1095... but all the old recordings are .NUV
files so no renaming needed...
MySQL reload seemed to have worked OK... and everything seems to be OK
the moment... (aside from my remote but I think that's a Knoppmyth
customisation problem...)
So I guess I may be OK until it's time to upgrade?
OK, let me rephrase my conclusion:
"So, in all, it's probably more work than it's worth to 'upgrade' to
R5A26 instead of just staying with (or re-installing) R5A22." ;)
