Updating Hercules

[PunkBuster]

I'd like to get around to updating my current hercules SVN. Currently running 13043(2013-11-07)(Linux). I have extensive customization on my server, and I am afraid doing an auto update will over-write much of my costumization.

Is there a way around this issue?

try to back up your server first before updating to be sure

Of course I'd back it up. Problem is, I'd have to go about re-applying all the changes anyway.

use winmerge and look every modified file to see what is being changed and keep your mods

That sounds useful, I'll try it.

In fact, you can do a patch for your modifications. Or, if you have your changes committed, conflicts should be there for sure and then use the console for resolving all of them manually so that you won't lose any changes.

P.S.: Yeah, using WinMerge is bliss
