There is no safe upgrade procedure. The manual one - even if it appears a 
bit cumbersome - is probably the safest... Start from a fresh disk and 
re-define your configuration. In most cases it does not take long especially 
it you have taken note of your personal settings on a sheet of paper :-)

 Hi

 I was wondering what was the best way to upgrade to
 each new Bering version.
 - Retyping the configurations files from the previous ones (in
 case there are major changes in the config files)
 - Backing up the previous config files and copy them back
 to the current version
 - upgrading the current configuration with each new LRP manually
 - other ways ?

 I'm running the Bering's distro and have a diskless configuration,
 with an isdn dialup on demand connection, and 2 eth.

 Thank you for your help.

 Fabrice

The easiest way (in my mind) is to use a CDRom and do partial backups
on floppies.  In most cases an upgrade involves putting a new CDRom in
the drive and rebooting.

I wrote some scripts for that, which should make upgrading and maintaing
multiple firewalls really easy, if you have a linux / unix box with root
access (could also be virtual):

diffleaf: Show all the differences between your installed packages and
the default packages, i.e. the configuration files you edited.

makeleaf: Combine custom configuration files (normally few) with the
standard packages to get a pre-configured firewall

The packages are now available in the patches section (look for patches
by
alexrh) while I'm hoping for developer access. As soon as I get that, I
shall upload a much improved version including e.g. automatic resolving
of kernel module dependencies.

Cheers
Alex
