upgrade to 3.0.1.5 and upgrades in general

Hola,

Just a question how things are organised here, I do have a lot of customization work in main.cf, MailScanner.conf, etc. Also got my ExtremeShok unofficial sigs running. I never used the GUIs to configure something, I like a shell =)

What is an upgrade doing? Is it messing up basic config files or will these remain unchanged?

Thanks!

Ronald

Upgrades take a minimalist approach to config files, only making necessary changes.

For example, the 3.0.1.5 only changes one line in one config file (mailwatch's conf.php)

This is what the 3.0.1.5 update does in relative detail...

Runs EFA-Backup
Downloads updated bash scripts for EFA-Configure
Runs yum update with exclusions (to prevent common areas where an update can break a system)
https://github.com/E-F-A/v3/commit/1b99 ... 1663f646ac
https://github.com/E-F-A/v3/commit/d527 ... afb3fb6a40
https://github.com/E-F-A/v3/commit/5f3d ... 96b3631429

Copies a modifed geoip_update.php called geoip_update_cmd.php to /usr/local/sbin (to allow calling geoip_update from cmd line)
https://github.com/E-F-A/v3/commit/7146 ... 4d0cffd6af

Run /usr/bin/clamav-unofficial-sigs.sh one time to initialize it in case it has never been run manually
https://github.com/E-F-A/v3/commit/9905 ... a1805e08ac

Correct location SA_PREFS in /var/www/html/mailscanner/conf.php (unless it differs from a stock install)
