(read Release Notes!) Updateing Big Sister is usually as simple as doing a make with the same arguments you originally used. Files that are user-editable (config files, etc.) won't get overwritten, binaries will though. Some things you should be aware of: - never install Big Sister for running as another user than your previous version (well, you'll have to do a 'chown' manually in this case) - config files are usually compatible between releases. Anyway if you'd like to use new features you'll usually have to update your config files of course. And of course config files for newer releases won't necessarily work with older releases. - it's always a good idea to back up a working Big Sister installation before upgradeing |
