Topic: suggestion for the tutorials

Every ugrade tutorials starts with :

Update /etc/iredmail-release with new iRedMail version number

example

It may also be just as easy to use a perl command to change the version from previous version to the latest.

example: 

 perl -pi -e 's#1.3#1.3.1#g' /etc/iredmail-release

just my 0,02€

I don't like this idea.

Running perl with in-place update may fail due to no pattern matched ("1.3" in your example).

Re: suggestion for the tutorials

Hello All,

  The automatic replacement can be done in many different ways. I do with `sed`. That is for each one to decide.

  If anything, my suggestion is to make this the last step. I do not like the idea of bumping the version if I have not completed the upgrade. I normally do at the end as I document (pseudo-script) each step.

  If the version modification is at the end, this is the final tick on the upgrade (if successful).

Cheers,
Stay safe everyone.

Maybe even an automated script, that just downloads and overwrites the previous version.
It's just an idea.
