Basic rundown is:

Stop the shar and Apache.

$ mv /opt/shibboleth /opt/shibboleth-old

Unpack/install new tar ball into /opt/shibboleth

$ cp /opt/shibboleth-old/etc/shibboleth/shibboleth.ini \
/opt/shibboleth-old/etc/shibboleth/*.xml \
/opt/shibboleth-old/etc/shibboleth/*.log* \
/opt/shibboleth-old/etc/shibboleth/*.html \
/opt/shibboleth/etc/shibboleth

Also may need to copy over apache.config if you've made changes to it, and
are using it to configure Apache, otherwise just use the new one as is.

Also make sure to copy over the shar's key/cert if they are stored in the
old /opt tree.

That should be it, the target should restart then.

To account for the changes in 1.1, you can delete the [attributes] section
from shibboleth.ini, and remove any ShibMapAttribute commands from Apache.
Any customization of the ShibMapAttribute parameters need to be reflected in
the AAP.xml file, as documented in the deploy guide.

You would have to enable the MySQL plugin by hand also, if using an old
shibboleth.ini file. This is also in the deploy guide.
