I upgraded to .19 this weekend on FC4 (went from RPMS to source version),
and I generally did the following:

Backup mythconverg
stop mythbackend and frontend on my machines
remove mythtv* packages with yum
download and untar the three files (Mythtv, mythplugins, myththemes)
generally, read the INSTALL or README file in the three directories, and
install using those instructions.
configure mythbackend service to start at boot, and start mythbackend.
Started mythfrontend and everything worked :D

Only problem I had was with mythweb, but following instructions in its
README got that going as well.

Thanks to the devs to the great job they've done on myth :D
