Hi Thanks Michael
I thought I was running 0.36.1 but it turns out I was only running 0.36.0. About the upgrade ... (1) Is there anywhere I can see what has changed since version 0.36.0 (i.e. change log)? (2) Will my existing /etc/rc.d/init.d/courierd file require modifications (3) Is there any difference between the installation of 0.36.0, 0.36.1, 0.37.0, and 0.37.1. (4) Will my current /etc files work for 0.36.1, 0.37.0, and 0.37.1.

You can disable the explanation by changing a few lines of the source code. Some people do this; others prefer leaving the explanation in. Whether or not this should be a configuration option, rather than requiring a change to the source code, has been hotly debated. You might want to search out the archives of this list for the past couple months before voicing an opinion... ;) > If I have to re-compile then re-install, I have the following > questions > > * How to I do this without losing any configuration file?

You can get a lot of information by going into the source directory as a regular user and typing 'make -n install' and 'make -n install-configure'. That will simulate running the commands without actually doing anything. An more flexible and comprehensive way is to save your compile output. Something like configure | tee courier-0.36.1.log make | tee -a courier-0.36.1.log make install | tee -a courier-0.36.1.log make install-configure | tee -a courier-0.36.1.log will keep a log of everything that happened when you built Courier. This can be invaluable in solving build problems, and good to keep around as reference (like, it would be useful to you right now). > * What is the difference between make install and make > install-configure? Good question. I apparently forgot to 'tee' the last step the last time I built this... ;) m. _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
