4.2 and Patches question

Hi.

It all really depends on your system. If you are only going to make and make install instead of making a .deb or .rpm package, I would recommend backing up all your data before you go for it. (/usr/lib/hobbit/* and /var/lib/hobbit/*)

It just is the safe bet to do a regular back up of your data, because you never know when you'll have a failure on your hands :)

With regards,
 Sigurður Guðbrandsson

Subject: [hobbit] 4.2 and Patches question
 Hi guys,

I tried to add the all in one patch for hobbit 4.2.0 and it run smoothly when I issued the command
[root at hobbit hobbit-4.2.0]# patch -p0 <allinone.patch

So my next step would to re-configure, re-make and re-makeinstall, is this right?

Is my old configuration would be safe without backup if I'll do the next step?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Ryan
