I don't recall ever having to change anything but the paths in the init.d script, but yes, I do use `tar xvfz` to install. Which means I can install in parallel to any other running instance(s) and test before cutting over. The inability to do that with any package managers I'm aware of, plus the release gap, is why I don't bother with them. Untarring a file just doesn't seem all that onerous to me. > On Windows, I at least have an installer that takes care of these tasks > for me.
