[asterisk-users] 'dirty' upgrade of 1.4

[Andrew Thomas]

Hi Danny,

I understand (and welcome) the separate src directories.  This would
allow me to 'revert' should I feel the need (assuming I can just
re-compile over each one).  I just need to know if I can re-compile over
the existing first.

Thanks for your reply.

Question 1 - unless you are "un-tarring" to a specific directory, you
would have /usr/local/src/asterisk-1.4.24.1 and
/usr/local/src/asterisk-1.4.34 segregated source trees.

Question 2 - you don't "have" to stop asterisk, but you should (best
practice?) since installing a new release usually involves
removing/replacing the .so files in /usr/lib/asterisk/modules.
