I have been following up the conversation in this subject hoping that
someone will put details in upgrading QMT to QTP.
Anyone can help me out? I checked on the QTP website and did not find
how-to's/step by step (or I'm just blind :)) install instructions for a
newbie like me.
I'm using the original installation of CentOS_5_QmailToaster_Install.
Thank you for the usual support.

Helps a lot - thanks. I have done this before, but did not know if it
was the current accepted model.

You can update perl modules using yum and the rpmforge repo.
You can NOT update any package that has "toaster" in the name by
using yum
repos (with the sole exception of qmailtoaster-plus).
I believe that QMT version 2+ will be using yum repos for upgrading, but
that is some time off. In the meantime, use qtp-newmodel. That is
not much
more difficult than yum to use, but it is more time consuming since the
source needs to be compiled on your toaster instead of being
precompiled by
someone else.
