Any way to update from 0.2.3.0? (1 Viewer)

[LXTR]

Hello:

Just a question...

Is there any way to update from 0.2.3.0 without losing all data?

clean installaton is required.

What about RC2/RC3 etc. Will the deploy tool update the RC1 install? What about weekly SVNs? do we have to revert to a clean RC1 and then apply? od does it allow applying over each SVN?

This is exactly what keeps me from changing to MP1 RC whatever - I have some 100 unwatched recordings (don't tell me I will never make it to watch them, if I didn't already make it by now ) in this specific format. Is there a convenient way to convert all those files to some standard formats and then re-import the stuff to the MP1 db? The built-in converter crashes from time to time. And what about all the station definitions? The TV card definitions (I am actually running three cards)? The EPG stuff - all set up with much patience - everything to be done from scratch on?

Well OK - you all work hard and for free - no question. But as someone said above, we also work hard to give you the feedback you need to improve the system. I myself spent severeal weeks (!) doing testing for a display driver, where the guy who did the coding sits in canada and didn't have the hardware. So I sniffed COM ports, analyzed logs, made photos and videos and for each new release i spent some 4-8 hours of testing end reporting. That really was fun and that's how things should be. And that's why I think, coming up with the plain statement "You need a clean installation" implying "well sorry, you've gotta make up your mind how to cope with that on your own" is somewhat "microsoftish"...

Of course I am just talking about some migration aid tool - I am not talking corrupted databases, exotic plugins etc. The said driver I supported with testing is such an "irregular" plugin and the programmer always points out, that it has to be manually migrated. But what about the above mentioned basic configurations?
