# cat /usr/share/doc/mythtv-backend-0.20/README.urpmi If this is a new install (NOT an upgrade), you can import the initial database by running: mysql -u root -p < /usr/share/doc/mythtv-0.20/database/mc.sql (you can omit -p if you do not have the password set)
IMPORTANT NOTICE IF UPGRADING FROM MYTHTV <= 0.18: As of mythtv-backend-0.19-1plf, the mythbackend is run as user mythtv instead of root for increased security. If you're upgrading from pre-0.19 PLF release, you have to chown the old mythtv files to the ownership of mythtv:mythtv. You have to do the following as root: chown -R mythtv:mythtv /var/lib/mythtv /var/cache/mythtv /var/log/mythtv You also have to chown any recording dirs etc you have. --- Good enough? or does anything need to be added / changed?

Unless it is a local-only database, such as sqlite, automatic database creation on installation is still non-automatable in a reliable way. I generally manual post-installations instructions in README.urpmi files. _______________________________________________ PLF-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://www.zarb.org/mailman/listinfo/plf-discuss
