Upgrading 3.0 to 3.1: Any prior advice/special reccomendations?

[das329717]

Hello,
Tonight I will upgrade to 3.1 a rutorrent 3.0 currently running >800 torrents (yes, its running slow as a slug, sometimes it never finishes loading the torrent list, Im hoping the new httprpc plugin helps on this).
Is there any prior advice or special reccomendations, or can I just stop rtorrent, move the 3.0 dir, install the 3.1 as new, restart rtorrent and get anything I need from the old dir afterwards, as needed?
Thank you,

In case anybody is interested, it went like a breeze.

Just a matter of moving out the 3.0 directory to another name, installing 3.1 and its plugins (except geoip and rpc, now using httprpc with excellent performance results), and copying the whole "share" subdir from the 3.0 dir to the 3.1, with all its permissions and I got 3.1 running as a champ.

I like to track svn that way i can just use

Code:
svn up
to update.


you can use the svn download even if you don't want to actually TRACK svn.

If you check the release notes, you'll see each release version is actually just cut from svn (for instance, the tarball download of 3.1 is really just svn r1167 )

soooooo, lets say you want to use the "release" version 3.1, you could download it from svn like this:
Code:
svn co http://rutorrent.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/rutorrent -r 1167
then, when 3.2 came out, if you wanted to "upgrade" to that, you could do svn up -r xxxx

of course, i like to get all the new features BETWEEN releases.....
