Ubuntu - How to upgrade from 2.12 to 3.x.x ?

Added by Patrick anthropo about 11 years ago

Hello,

i have xbmc installed with hts-tvheadend package (v 2.12)

i found that tvheadend has been upgraded to V3.

Do i need to apt-get remove hts-tvheadend, then apt-get install tvheadend, as the new package seems to be renamed tvheadend ?

Thank you

Hi Patrick,

the latest ubuntu repository (in case you use ubuntu) is only V2.99.53.4502158. If you want to upgrade to 3.X you need to build it from source.

You don't need to build from source - I think 3.4 is available from the tvheadend repositories:

https://tvheadend.org/projects/tvheadend/wiki/AptRepository

To offer a view on the specific question - yes, if the package name has changed, I'd probably remove the old one before installing the new one. You can take a backup of your config files and install them by hand for the most part if you really have to, but most of it can be re-configured pretty quickly anyway - so you're probably safer making a note of any personalisations and simply re-creating them (user accounts, for example). This won't work so well if you've radically re-arranged channels or similar.
