Re: [qmailtoaster] upgrade script

[Shelly]

Im thinking of using the QmailToaster Plus to upgrade my old (read 18 months) Toaster install - Im not sure if its been covered, but this will continue to run the current qmail setup, build the new version in the background and then copy over and restart to run the new version of the toaster with all the settings from the previous version? Is there anything I need to manually back up? And also -  will this copy all existing email in a users directory? Thanks

I totally agree, David. That's why I wrote the qtp-newmodel scripts to do
just that!

They do everything except the update ahead of time in the sandbox, so the
production server is not affected. Then at the appropriate moment, the
sysadmin can re-run the script, automatically skipping over everything
that's already been done, and apply the update (which is done with a single
rpm -Uvh command btw).

You might want to give it a try! ;)
