Hi all, i'm finally trying to tackle https://bugzilla.novell.com/836149 -- that is, update VDR to version 2.x My plan is to use a mix of home:balta3:vdrdevel and home:frispete:vdr2 (which partly links to the former). Hans-Peter has kept the vdr.spec based on the one in the vdr repo, making the history more obvious. I additionally plan to integrate runvdr-extreme-systemd directly into the vdr package and get rid of the original runvdr, along with the /etc/sysconfig/vdr and /etc/init.d/vdr The problem: this will break the configuration after updating from VDR-1.6.x. If I don't find an easy way to convert /etc/sysconfig/vdr to /etc/runvdr.conf on update, I'll probably just print a warning during update to let people know that the VDR configuration needs manual review. I'll add a README.SUSE which will explain how to move from the old config to the new one. Another option would be to just call the new package "vdr2" and make it conflict with vdr, so that it is not silently installed as an update and people immediately notice that they need to do something. We could also copy the old packages to vdr:legacy or such, for people who rather use the old version (if you don't have HD capable hardware, vdr 1.6 might be "good enough") Any ideas? People who want to suggest "create a sophisticated update process that makes sure that the update does work and the config is converted" are welcome to take over VDR maintainership and do that. I personally have planned to do this for a very long time now (even when VDR-2.0 was still 1.7.xx) and finally realised that I'll never have enough time to do this. That's why I'm now opting for the above approach, which will be less work (and which will make use of the work that Marcel and Hans-Peter have already done, thanks for that).
