I just recompile and re-run 'make install'. Never had an issue. Of course, I don't typically tweak any of the non-config files so if you've modified those, you may need to revisit those changes but I've never had it clobber my cfg files in etc.

I have Xymon 4.3.11<http://xymon.sourceforge.net/> installed and would like to move to 4.3.15, but I do not see any upgrade doc. What is the proper method to do an upgrade from source ?
Do I uninstall the previous and install the new version? Should I just install the new over the old version, using the same config options ?
Best practices would be appreciated, since this is a Production environment. Centos 5.4 64 bit.
Thanks !
Michael
