Potential problems migrating to Debian 1.9?

Post by shadowfirebird »

My MythTV has stopped working (viewtopic.php?f=36&t=3621) for some reason, and I'm upgrading.

I want to move from Debian 1.8/Jessie to Debian 1.9/Stretch, but that replaces MySQL with MariaDB.

(Also, I'm moving from MythTV 0.27 to 29.)

Does anyone have any experience migrating their MythTV to Debian 1.9? Can I just take my MySQL backup and restore it to MariaDB?

If you're going to upgrade, V30 is the latestest version. Might as well go to it.

It's been ages since I switched from MySQL to MariaDB, but I
don't recall needing to restore the DB. MariaDB just worked
with the old. Though making a backup 1st is the right thing
to do.
