Jim,

If you want to update regularly, the easiest way to do it is to use svn.

Assuming you want to use the 6.2.x branch, and slimserver is in
/usr/local/slimserver, do something like this:

# Stop slimserver
cd /usr/local
mv slimserver slimserver.2006-01-20 # or whatever
svn co http://svn.slimdevices.com/repos/slim/trunk/BRANCH_6_2_x
mv BRANCH_6_2_x slimserver-BRANCH_6_2_x
ln -s slimserver-BRANCH_6_2_x/server slimserver
# Start slimserver

Now, whenever you want to upgrade, simply do:

cd /usr/local/slimserver-BRANCH_6_2_x
svn up
# restart slimserver

HTH,

R.
