Well - number 1 - it IS - CVS HEAD. Next - I always run "make samples". In the /etc/asterisk/ directory it renames all your old config files that have changed to *.old. So long as you don't stop and restart Asterisk - its fine. Just diff the two files and you get to see the differences. Now that seems a 'funny' thing to do as you are thinking - heck ALL my configs are 'different' - as are mine. But I keep a subdirectory full of MY config files (just in case) and I also keep a subdirectory full of the LAST updates config files just to compare against. After seeing what's new - fixing MY config files - moving the NEW ones to the latest subdirectory - moving MY config files back to the working directory - THEN I restart Asterisk. It's called system administration. One day I'll set it up with a script, but right now it isn't bad or too much work. But I do update almost everyday.
