Agreed - I usually do it one Saturday or Sunday afternoon every (or
every other) month (if the dev list is relatively quiet)

1. Check the commits archive to see if there's a patch flurry.  If there
is, then postpone for a few days
2. Patch my 2 backends, reboot in case there are any kernel updates (and
rebuild the NVIDIA driver in case there are)
3. Download the latest SVN
4. Build on both backends simultaneously
5. Stop mythbackend on both the master and slave backends
6. Do a "make install" on the master backend, wait until any db changes
have finished and the log has quietened down
7. Start the slave backend
8. Build the plugins
9. Check the "Upcoming recordings screen"
10. Test ALL tuners
