However, anytime there's a protocol or schema update in -fixes, it's always done in such a way as to ensure a clean upgrade from -fixes to the next-released version will be possible without any manual intervention (assuming a properly configured database/database server--where that disclaimer will likely make more sense when 0.22 is released).<div>

The official advice given since I've run mythtv (which is only since .17/.18 so I'm not a really old timer) is "You must run the exact same svn revision of -fixes across all machines in a farm."<br>
<br>If this is not the case, and ANY .XX version .21 or greater is guaranteed to be compatible across back and frontends, it should probably be published on the wiki/FAQ. It's very good news for people who don't want to run the same distribution for front and back ends, and for people who perhaps want a mac frontend.<br>
<br>The only solution for those people used to be to self-build as none of the distros keep exactly in sync with eachother.<br></div></div>

<br></blockquote></div><br>I'd actually be interested in hearing the "official" on that last question: Will any version of .21 work with any version of .21? In other words could you have, say, a Mac frontend and a linux backend (which would likely be on different myth versions given distribution releases) and NOT have an issue?<br>
