[courier-users] install-configure and its ability to upgrade

[Peter Davies]

recently i upgraded from 0.38.0 to 0.40.2
i read (and re-read, and re-read) the Installation document. on the website, inside the tarbal - you name it....

i read that the recommend procedure was to blow away the the exisiting tree prior to the "make install"
"rm -rf /usr/lib/courier" will do nicely.

after backing up the etc directory, of course.

so my question is, if there is nothing there how does the sysconfig script propagate forward any changes one might have made to the old, recently blown away, "'foo'd" files?

so after the "make install", i overwrote the /usr/lib/courier/etc directory with the (few) files containing my changes (esmtpd, imapd etc) then launched the "make install-configure". the script appears to have renamed the exisiting files foo.bak but the pertinent (changed) information did not propogate forward into the new files created from foo.dist.

Any guesses to what I might have done wrong?

thanks
