Agreed none of the options are nice. The mythtv wiki isn't a bad
resource, how about this for a news item (I can commit if there are no
objections - and be gentle as I just parsed the GLEP - also posted to
the bug 299222):
Title: MythTV 0.22 Upgrade Database Corruption

Due to an incompatibility between MythTV 0.21 and the default Gentoo
MySQL configuration, it is likely that long-time MythTV users will have
databases with a mixture of locale encodings. If you upgrade to 0.22
without following these directions carefully, you could end up with a
database that contains errors that are extremely difficult to fix.
Please see the MythTV Upgrade Guide for instructions:
http://wiki.mythtv.org/wiki/Fixing_Corrupt_Database_Encoding
Be sure to save a database backup before upgrading. Also, be sure to
upgrade any other clients/backends you are using to 0.22 at the same
time. The upgrade instructions need to be followed once per database -
individual client/backend upgrades do not require these steps.
