OLD System... Upgrade or re-install? (feddit.uk)

I saw a similar post here recently, but this is slightly different.

I'm running MythTV on Arch which is working fine (of course), but when MythTv came out of the main packages and went to the AUR, it was just a little harder to maintain and had some compolation issues due to ffmpeg, etc - to the point: my last update was probably 3 years ago.

The (minor) issues I currently have are:

terminator won't start 1st time, but starts fine 2nd time
shutdown's take a few minutes due to a systemd issue
everything's woefully out of date

So... considering all the changes with audio and video over the last few years do I just pacman -Syuv and crack on... or... start again from scratch?

(Yep, full backup 1st)

Thanks, from memory I think I have extra already enabled... maybe...

It's good to know that when (not if) I find time to do that update, there's a good chance it'll work
