If I run "apt-get remove tvheadend" to remove tvheadend does it remove all the configuration under /home/hts/.hts/ or it is left after a remove?
I should replace the prec-configured package with my own compiled version with "make install" command.
No, uninstalling shouldn't remove the config. Alternatively, if you can build a package (depends on what distro you're using) then you can simply install over the top.
If you're going from the old release version to the new one, there's a migration script that will ease the changes in config.
All that said, I'd take a backup anyway, just in case... remember to maintain permissions if you just copy .hts to somewhere else.
