Dump your database, backup your old release (depending on the OS you're running and the distribution method, you could just keep RPMS, or use tar), upgrade to SVN, test and verify all functionality. If it breaks, blow away the DB, recreate, reload, and reload old release. Directions for dumping DB, dropping, recreating, and loading are here: http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-22.html#ss22.5 Certainly this isn't foolproof b/c you may test everything out, and it looks great, and then when a family member trys it, it breaks. :-) But at least it's a nice way to get a quick preview of features. -b
