Dear all,

We'd like to test Kannel by installing two separate instances on the same 
Ubuntu box: a 1.4.3 is 
currently installed, and we'd like to have another one (v1.5.0) up and running 
to play with before 
upgrading (and in general it'd be our idea to test CVS snapshots too after a 
successful 1.5.0
migration).

(We cannot use further servers for testing since the IP is registered in our 
providers' firewalls
and is quite 
cumbersome to change).

Is there a best practice to do this without messing up everything?

What we've learned so far in a virtual server while trying to simulate the 
separate install:

configure --with-suffix=-1.5.0 --with-mysql --with-start-stop-daemon 

This approach 
- led to the new executables with the -1.5.0 suffix under /usr/local/...
- didn't touch existing config files
- we created /var/log/kannel-1.5.0 and /etc/kannel-1.5.0, and an init.d script

However we don't know if there's anything that could cause any conflicts later, 
eg. header files or
man pages or
anything like that (or should we even care about that at all?).

Please share your thought or experience with us!
Thanks a lot!

Tim
