"stop gracefully" may be preferable

It is possible to use "make install DESTDIR=/somewhere"
The install won't break anything even if for some reason the install
fails. Keeping different "installed" versions at the server makes it
easier to update or to return to the previous version.


My suggestion, however, is to build some rpm package (replace by the
package format your system uses). In the rpm case it is possible to
use DESTDIR installation and RPM_BUILD_ROOT feature to build the
package without stopping the productive service.
