Rancid upgrade 3.2 to 3.9
Hello

I am using Rancid for the last 3 years and would like to upgrade it now to latest version which is 3.9.
Current version is 3.2.99 after upgrade of my colleague a year ago I believe.
my Expect version is 5.44.1.15 if it helps.

I've downloaded the last tar.gz file to the box and read the UPGRADE file which wasn't very straight forward for base version of 3.2.x.
Would you please advise about upgrade process and what files should be backed up as we did some tweaks for some vendor files.

Thanks

Nati

Fair. I've added some text; lmk if I've missed the mark.

+Assuming that no other specifics in the sections below apply to your
+installation or environment, then upgrades should be straight-forward.
+ - review the CHANGES file for anything that may affect you,
+ - backup your current installation,
+ - optionally disable rancid's cron jobs and waiting for running
+ collections to finish.
+ - follow the quick installation instructions in the README, using the
+ same arguments to configure that were used for the previous version
+ (if any), and installing the new directly over the previous.
+ - it may be necessary to merge new .conf files (rancd.conf, lg.conf,
+ rancid.types.conf) with the existing files, which will not have been
+ over-written.
+ - re-enable rancid's cron jobs

I did not comment specifically about files to backup, as I feel that one
could be extra careful by backing-up everything or one could backup only
the files are locally customized (.conf & router.db files).
