I installed Mythdora 4.0 from scratch, and then ran yum -y upgrade \*myth\*
- After that I used the hunt-and-peck method to update the other broken
components. I'd come across something that didn't work, upgrade it, and move
along (ivtv, mythstream, mythmusic, etc). I had to add some repos using
Jarod's guide to upgrade certain pieces. Probably not the best way to
upgrade, but it worked for me.
