 |

Hey everyone. I'm planning on upgrading Postfix 2.2 to 2.3, but wanted to know how I should expect my configuration to change. I'd like to continue using the same configuration files if possible, but since it's an upgrade to another major release, I'm wondering if I'll be able to or not. Thanks 
James

It would appear, according the the ebuild, that you don't have to edit your config files (I know you had to for the 2.1 -> 2.2 migration), although it says, for those upgrading from a version below 2.3.0:
| Quote: | | You are upgrading from a incompatible version. You MUST stop postfix BEFORE install it to your system. If you want a minimal downtime, emerge postfix with: `FORCE_UPGRADE=1 emerge --buildpkgonly postfix`; then `/etc/init.d/postfix stop && emerge --usepkgonly postfix`run etc-update or dispatch-conf and merge the configuration files. Next `/etc/init.d/postfix start` |

That doesn't sound too bad. Thanks.
