Hi,

What is the philosophy/technique for preserving user configuration when doing updates to the latest SVN ?

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.

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 ?

Can previously configs just be copied back into the appropriate directory ?

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 ?

How do others manage this ?

Regards

Dave
