I compiled up 0.80 on a backup server. The program and milter are working fine. I don't want to have to also have to compile on the production server. As the backup and production have the same flavor and version of Linux, can I just copy over the binaries and configuration files, kill and restart the appropriate processes?
What I ususally do in cases like this is tar up the build directory, copy that over, and run "make install" on the production server. That way I can be sure I haven't missed anything.
Strike that -- that's what I *used* to do. These days I prefer to roll my own RPMs, which essentially automates the process of copying over the binaries and config files (plus it removes any outdated files as well.)
When I do have to build something on a production server, I generally build it as a non-privileged user at low priority.
