Well - number 1 - it IS - CVS HEAD.

Next - I always run "make samples".  In the /etc/asterisk/ directory it
renames all your old config files that have changed to *.old.

So long as you don't stop and restart Asterisk - its fine.  Just diff the
two files and you get to see the differences.

Now that seems a 'funny' thing to do as you are thinking - heck ALL my
configs are 'different' - as are mine.  But I keep a subdirectory full
of MY config files (just in case) and I also keep a subdirectory full of
the LAST updates config files just to compare against.  After seeing
what's new - fixing MY config files - moving the NEW ones to the latest
subdirectory - moving MY config files back to the working directory -
THEN I restart Asterisk.

It's called system administration.  One day I'll set it up with a
script, but right now it isn't bad or too much work.  But I do update
almost everyday.
