: The current exim_install script renames old versions as xxxx.O. This is
: probably reasonable for the various utilities, but it is less than ideal
: for the Exim binary itself. For a start, it leaves a window with no exim
: when upgrading. For Exim 4 I am proposing to change things. Anybody have
: any views on this (relatively minor) change of action?
[...]
: 4. If "exim" is in the bin directory and is not a symbolic link, run it
: to find its version number, and rename it as "exim-x.xx#n". Then create a
: symbolic link to the new version.
Actually, this still gives you a window when there is no .../bin/exim.
Better would be:
4. Fi "exim" is in the bin directory and is not a symbolic link, run
it to ind its version number, and then perform the following:
cp -p exim exim-x.xx#n
ln -s temp exim-4.xx
mv -f temp exim
