Is this the right place to get some help sorting out a Linux install?

I've been running my board for a few years now, but I think I must have screwed up my last update a couple of years ago.

I'm running 3.20 A right now on Debian 9, and I'd like to update to the latest 3.21 revision, but despite running fine as-is I think I've got a weird directory setup that I need to address.

I think my operational directory/file structure is accidentally within the repo directory...

/sbbs directory contains docs, exec, text, web, webv4, and xtern directories, but they're all symlinks to /sbbs/repo/[their name here] -- the actual directories are inside /sbbs/repo/

ctrl, data, modes, and node directories are directly within /sbbs

Trying to perform an update has ended up with weird merge conflicts and other issues, I've had to restore a backup a few times (fortuntely I have them!)

I'm assuming dealing with this might be as simple as shutting the board down and moving those directories over to /sbbs/ ?

At that point I think I can probably just blow away the repo with whatever is on the remote at git and run the install/update process?

Thanks
