Thank you Wietse.
That's how I've been upgrading until now (using "make upgrade"). But now
I want to switch from source-compilation to RPM upgrades.
So, I guess that if I upgrade using an RPM (through "rpm -Uvh"), as I
described, the upgrade is expected to be successful too?
If you just copy old config files over a new Postfix installation
then you will end up with a broken system.
Hmm, could you please provide some more details on it? Why so? I would
imagine that a full set of master.cf, main.cf and any other files used
therein (hash files, ldap/mysql table lookups etc.) would work in a new
installation (which of course would be compiled with the same options).
Thanks,
Nick
