RE: [Phpgroupware-users] CVS update 030603

[David Radovanovic]

Chris,
As per your response to yesterday's inquiry: Before I extract the tarball
over the existing installation, is there a chance that the databases will be
overwritten? Also with the tarball, should I backup the files directory and
header file. Thanks for your time :)

[teh cvsroot it's looking for is phpgw's cvs root.  the tarball
[releases starting
[with .14 have the needed CVS information in them but I doubt the
[ports collection
[does.  I the ports is based on the final .14 tarball or later then
[the easiest way
[is to just extract the tarball over top of your install ond run
[the cvs update.
[You can also do a cvs so as listed on the savannah page for each
[installed phpgw
[app, but you may have to remove all your current files except for
[your header and
[files dir.
