[imp] CVS and configuring working sites

[Harry Hoffman]

Hi Will,
   When updating Horde/IMP/... you really need to make sure that you're 
looking at any file that has been updated not just the dist files. Take for 
example a few weeks ago the db structure for Turba(? could have been 
kronolith) had changed. Without knowing this and adding the new table to the 
db you end up with quite a few errors. I wound up running into this as well.
   Does anyone out there have this down to an exact science? I'd love to be 
able to fully implement it but it seems as though there are too many small 
changes that makes it difficult to do well?

Regards,
Harry
