[horde] again: procedure for upgrading Horde

I'm sorry to bother again, but I'm still searching an answer to my
question asked last week:

-------- Original Message --------
I have a question about such upgrades of Horde itself or applications
like IMP in general. I searched the FAQ, the UPGRADING etc. but didn't
find the answer - hopefully not only overlooked.

If I want to update let's say Horde 3.1.1 to 3.1.2, what is the official
way to do this? Simply copying the new files from the tarball over the
(already backuped ;-)) old ones and then (from UPGRADING):

---- snip ----
After updating to a newer Horde version, or a newer version of **any**
Horde application, you **always** need to update **all** configuration
files.
---- snip ----

It would be nice if you can give me a pointer, link (to the right FAQ?).

------------------------------------

I'm especially interested in the handling of the configuration files. Do
I have to overwrite all the current working ones with the empty new ones
and then really have to make *all* the settings from scratch again? Or
did I misunderstand something? I'm a little bit confused about this "you
**always** need to update **all** configuration files". I would like to
have a clean Horde-environment and therefore want to go the steps the
developers intended for this procedure.

So any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks.
Markus
