Tvheadend

I switched from unstable 4.1.2545 to stable 4.2 on Ubuntu 16.04 yesterday.

Following the download wiki I changed the line

deb https://dl.bintray.com/tvheadend/deb xenial unstable

deb https://dl.bintray.com/tvheadend/deb xenial stable-4.2

In your case you would probably have to change the line

deb https://dl.bintray.com/tvheadend/deb jessie unstable

deb https://dl.bintray.com/tvheadend/deb jessie stable-4.2

deb https://dl.bintray.com/tvheadend/deb jessie release-4.2

After that I just ran "sudo apt update" and "sudo apt upgrade" to update my TVheadend server on Ubuntu 16.04.
It automatically started without any further configuration needed.

Thanks!

But what is the difference between release-4.2 and stable-4.2?

This is what say in the AptRepository page:

• release-4.2 - The latest version marked as release (like 4.2.2).
• stable-4.2 - The latest official / stable code including changes between releases (like 4.2.2-10~gHASH).

But I don't know which is the difference.

Kind regards.

"release" means no changes to the code until a new revision, e.g. 4.2.2 (current is 4.2.1).
"stable" means builds that have changes between the current release build (4.2.1) & the next (4.2.2), so all changes between 4.2.1 & 4.2.2 are included.

Kind regards.

Thanks Mark,

I change from "unstable" to "stable-4.2" and now I have "4.2.1-1~g658ddd6" versión, so great!

The stable versión is going to update frecuently? Is this brach secure for daily use?

Kind regards.

It should be yes. Only commits for new releases will occur and even then it's usually just important fixes.

Kind regards.

Thanks!

But all the changes in the last few days have been made on the "release/4.2" branch on github, and no updates have been made to the master branch (which should be the "unstable".)

Maybe github needs to be updated to reflect the above description - maybe add a "stable/4.2" branch??

As it stands now, the "master" branch on github is equal to the "4.2 release", and the "release/4.2" branch is the "4.2 stable" version. (According to the above description.)

Also, as a side note, is it still necessary to have the htsp/8-21 branches?

Unstable is now 4.3..

No new packages will be in release-4.2 until 4.2.2 is released, replacing 4.2.1. All changes between 4.2.1 til 4.2.2 will be in the stable-4.2 repo.

I understand that, but I am talking about what is on github. (The actual source code...)

Yes, I see what you mean. If you want, you can open a issue & ask for it to be fixed :p
