Description:
The problem is that an upgrade installation of remstats will overwrite
the config-base directory, but previous installations of remstats
created new configuration directories as symlinks to config-base.
Some of these files need to be changed and some are commonly changed,
specificly:
alerts alert-destination-map general html links tools
Installing a new version of remstats will overwrite config-base,
including these files.
convert-config-links
is a conversion tool for upgrading from
remstats versions before 1.0A. It will convert the commonly
changed config-files from symlinks to copies of the appropriate
files from config-base. In remstats versions after 1.0A the
new-config program will "Do the Right Thing" (TM) and make
copies by itself, so you'll only have to run this once.
If you're installing remstats for the first time, you can ignore
this program.
