I have to commend the development team (and especially Cecil) for 7.4 rdt. Installed on all 4 my machines as an upgrade from 7.2 - flawless. Great job guys.

Oh, and thanks for putting ripD back in the system - I really missed that.

Thanks for posting. I was thinking about making the jump from 7.2 to 7.4 as well. Did you just do it thru the command prompt, or did you you use an ISO disk? Three things I am worried about:

1.) Remote control migrations (settings, lirc, lircrc, etc)
2.) Sound configuration issues (Had a lot of issues when going from Knoppmyth to 7.2)
3.) VDPAU (I was reading on some other threads that people were having issues with NVidia drivers)...

Also, I am running xbmc. Curious if the upgrade will interfear with those settings as well.

Regards.

I upgraded from 7.2 so I:

sudo sv stop frontend
sudo pacman -Sy linhes-scripts
sudo upgrade_linhes.sh

I use Streamzap and Microsoft Media Center remotes - all migrated and worked fine.

Sound worked fine (using ALSA 7.1)

Had no issues with VDPAU except a minor one with an ISO playback I made with the newly added ripD. That problem was easy to correct (not sure if the problem would have shown up on 6.X or 7.2 - ripD wasn't there)...

I don't use xbmc so can't comment. Looking at the changelogs, I don't think you will have a problem. Perhaps somebody else can confirm.

The only complaint that I have to make - and it is about Mythtv, NOT LinHES - is that I do not like the new Mythmusic. Looks good - hate the missing tree directory.
