Sometimes there is what is called a flag day, meaning a library version is bumped. This forms a major hurdle to recompile your system. Developers know how to deal with us.
I really need to get on the mailing lists..

Non-developers just install a new snapshot from the pre-compiled binary snapshot installation
file sets.
This machine wears a lot of hats , like 3 websites , firewall and smtp gateway for 2 domains...
There is an awful lot of reconfiguring to do when I reload it with a

I have never done an upgrade but if that is the way to go to avoid
all the reconfiguration.. then I am willing to give it a go..
Pardon my ignorance on this one..
