[rt-users] Newbie question: Upgrading Mason...

[Jim Keene]

OK,

I guess I dont really need to upgrade. But I am still curious about learning 
some things about this, so I appreciate any answers.

When I build my rt2.14 I run "make testdeps" and it says everything is OK. 
But if I understood Mark correct the system would upgrade Mason etc. into 
the latest versions if I run "make fixdeps", even though it said it was OK 
when I ran "make testdeps" ? Is this the case ?

My second question is if I need to perform a new make preocedure of RT after 
I have upgraded any perl module with CPAN ? Or is it sufficient to just 
restart the apache webserver (it makes some kind of run-time compiling) 
after the upgrade of a PERL module ?

/Regards,

Jim
