<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What is the philosophy/technique for preserving
user configuration when doing updates to the latest SVN ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>For example, under Windows, using Visual C++ 2008
Express, the program is built under the "\FreeSwitch\.\Debug" directory with all
other FreeSwitch directories below that. When FreeSwitch is installed, the
configuration directories, including conf\autoload_configs, conf\dialplan,
conf\directory etc, are copied from the distro.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What is the best way of preserving user
configuration through future rebuilds, i.e., dialplans, extensions etc. which
may have been modified from the defaults ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Can previously configs just be copied back
into the appropriate directory ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is compatibility of configs "guaranteed" to be
preserved between releases, e.g., 1.0.4 to 1.0.5 or even between SVNs of the
same release ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>How do others manage this ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Regards</FONT></DIV>
