The main thing is to merge config.pl <http://config.pl>. Your old one should not be overwritten and the new one from the 4.x package should be renamed to config.pl.rpmnew.

Thank you, Richard.  I'll be sure to follow these instructions.

My questions are more fundamental, however:

o       Do I need to remove Version 3.x first?

No, it works like any other package upgrade.

 
o       If not, does the version 4.x from the referenced repo replace the existing Version 3.x install, with just the fixes to config.pl needed?

As far as I can tell from experience with my upgrade on my CentOS 7 box, yes, that's all that should be required. I did update some of the SELinux contexts for 4.x and other tweaks so it would be good to hear how smoothly things go as I haven't gotten any feedback yet from people upgrading from 3.x to 4.x. 

Thanks,
Richard
