I'm also never quite sure how this should be achieved either and would like to know the answer as well.

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade.
Code:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `xbmc_%`.* TO 'xbmc'@'%';
IF you have a mysql problem, find one of the 4 dozen threads already open.

What if we have issues with 10.1 and wish to downgrade back to 10.0. Any instructions on how to do this?

This is also a good question?? It would be nice if you could upgrade and roll-back from the GUI when running a linux xbmc appliance. Would make keeping up with all the latest stuff just so much easier.

Well, 10.0 isn't in the ppa archives any more. So there's no way to roll back other than grabbing an old version of the .deb

Code:
apt-cache policy xbmc
xbmc:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 2:10.1~ppa1~lucid
  Version table:
     2:10.1~ppa1~lucid 0
        600 http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/ppa/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages

Yeah sorry...I missed your post.

It would great if the system could store your existing installation locally and then roll-back to that should the need arise.
