Of course I did. Configuring a full system from scratch (courierd, esmtpd, imapd, pop3d + ssl etc as well as authlib) takes ages. And, unlike some others, you don't go changing the names and syntax of configuration directives between versions just for the hell of it. So reusing the old configuration is virtually riskless and saves a lot of time and work. I've been doing this since 0.33 or so and only diffing to see if the new version includes any brand new configuration directives. It's stable, it just works, and you have always been very careful to add new stuff without breaking existing installations. That's precisely how things should be. > When you build Courier on the new system, the configure script > put /etc/sysconfig/locale.conf into /etc/courier/courierd. Oh, I'm sure the configure script does the right thing. I'm not blaming you; all the contrary. But there are limits to what a script can and should do before it starts defying the admin. You could have a postinstall scriptlet that checks any existing configuration and "corrects" it if it's "wrong". I'd go ballistic if an rpm did that to my stuff.
