What I've done after patching source code for qmail and already having it installed has been to go into the /work/qmail-1.0.3 dir and run: make setup check Make determines that source has changed, compiles the new binary, and installs it, and only it -- everything else should stay exactly how it is. A backup never hurt anybody, even if it's just stopping qmail and copying the /var/qmail dir to /var/qmail-good, you know, just to be on the safe side. ;-) Thomas On Fri, 4 Jan 2002, Scott Stoddard wrote: > Hi all, I was going to update my qmail to support SMTP authentication, I got a patched version of the file qmail-smtp.c and I threw it in (backing up the old) /usr/ports/mail/qmail/work/qmail-1.03 directory. My question is I have already complied and installed qmail and it works great, what is the best way to upgrade this, do I need to uninstall and lose all my settings (or back themup) and reinstall fresh? or can I just install on top of the old one, also I noticed that in the work/qmail-1.03 dir there is an already compiled version of qmail-smtp to get my updated version of qmail-smtp.c compiled do I need to do anything special? > Thanx! > > --Scott > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
