What I've seen in the UPDATING file seems to refer to 3.X upgraded to
4.X
As far as I can tell there is no special documented procedure for
updating within the 4.X line. Should be able to do everything in the
ordinary way. I've done it that way on the current system.
Along those same lines ... I'm having trouble with one of my 4.0 servers
trying to update it to 4.1 and getting all kinds of weird errors in
doing the kernel. Just re-cvsuped and trying again. I cvsuped on Sunday
as well. I think maybe something in the system was broken.
