There's got to be a better way, then having to create a new directory.. move over my config files, maps, etc ... Maybe not so much a patch file, but do a diff on all files on the asss dev machine.. and then just have an archive of those files that I can extract into an asss/ folder.

nope, you gotta deal with it just like the all of us did

Er, this isn't be so hard. Just copy the contents of the bin directory over the old contents, and don't touch anything else. This may leave you with slightly-out-of-date config files as compared to the distributed ones, but a simple diff should help clear that up.

The only big issue moving from 1.3.6 to 1.4.0 is that you have to add bw_default to your modules.conf file.

Someone should grab gentoo's etc-update script and mod it to work with asss.

All it does is just use diff in a pretty way.

At least include security.so in the source distrobution like i've requested awhile back. *fumes* Time to write an upgrade segement in the wiki.

Er, when did you request that? I don't remember hearing it. Anyway, I put up http://sscx.net/asss/security-1.4.0.so.gz , and I'll try to remember to do the same for each new version.

I only vaguely remember the request (it was coined as a question). Mainly having to do with something not right in the 1.1.7 source and binary versions. So it's ancient history.

This is usually an issue with other software. IF I haven't updated in ages I have to sitdown and think what i need to copy over. Something like this..

"let's see here I need to copy those src/ sub directories.. my Makefile, but wait, what if there have been changes to Makefile? conf/ directory... wait, except for modules.conf because there could be some major change in there (better diff).. then everything else... has arenas/ changed? maybe.. "

Though this is more of a headache for major version changes.
