I am currently using BackupPC version 3.0.0 installed from the Ubuntu 8.0.4 repository. I have never run configure.pl myself from command line.
BackupPC works perfectly for me, but I would like to try 3.2.0beta in order to take advantage of one of the new features that Craig was kind enough to implement at my request. Should I just run configure.pl and have it install over the 3.0.0 version? Or should I remove 3.0.0 first? Will configure.pl automatically use the same directories as the 3.0.0 release? Or do I need to re-enter these? If I have problems with the beta, what is the best method to revert back to the 3.0.0 release? Is there anything special I need to be aware of? Obviously, I don't want to risk clobbering any of the current configuration or backup data, even though it is backed up. When searching this mailing list archive, the only issue with the beta I could find was the need to install File::Listing, which is installed on my system. Are there any other issues I should be looking out for? Thanks for the help!
