Decided to update my WordPress install, something which I’ve been meaning to do for a while.
This time though I’ll be upgrading wordpress using Subversion version control which should make things quicker next time.
Previously I downloaded the tar file and then extracted it to a separate folder then tried to figure out which bits I needed to keep and copy them across to the new folder.
Using Subversion this should no longer be necessary as when you update it checks for custom files and keeps them safe.
This looks like it would be very useful for scripting the upgrade of lots of sites at the same time.
