I'm trying to build Cyrus 2.3.10 on an x86_64 box running Debian Etch (stable). The first problem I ran into was out-of-date config.guess and config.sub scripts in the 2.3.10 tarball. I grabbed the latest copies of those files from the GNU website: http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/*check

mixing versions in murder

Are there any DOs or DON'Ts when mixing different versions of Cyrus in a traditional murder? Specifically, I have a murder at version 2.2.13, and I'd like to upgrade to version 2.3.10. Can I upgrade the frontends first? Do I need to upgrade all of them at once? Thanks, Andy Cyrus
