[ZendTo] nightly-clear-up erase files during upgrade process

[Jules]

Arnaud,

Sorry about that!
Yes, I currently have the post-install script in the rpm and deb 
packages automatically run the nightly clear-up script, as that gives it 
a chance to do the other main thing that script does, which is apply any 
needed db schema changes.
I clearly need to add a command-line parameter to it, so it won't delete 
anything, and use that extra switch when I call it from the post-install 
scripts.

Thanks for pointing that one out to me!

Cheers,
Jules.

'No more impressive warning can be given to those who would confine
  knowledge and rsearch to what is apparently useful, than the
  reflection that conic sections were studied for eighteen hundred
  years merely as an abstract science, without regard to any utility
  other than to satisfy the craving for knowledge on the part of
  mathematicians, and that then at the end of this long period of
  abstract study, they were found to be the necessary key with which
  to attain the knowledge of the most important laws of nature.'
