WordPress Rocks at Updates

I feel I owe it to my friends who put up with my senseless Python fanboying to admit WordPress is not only a great blog engine, but rocks at updates.

I just upgraded from 2.5 to 2.6 by doing a simple svn switch http://... and then logging into the web admin interface. It took about 30 seconds to complete.

Now compare that to my last experience upgrading Trac from 0.10 to 0.11… ugh.

I love you Trac. Python just lacks an easy and efficient web app deployment method.

    I absolutely agree with you. I did a switch on the svn checkout, opened the admin interface, clicked on a button to upgrade the database and that’s it. The whole thing only took a few seconds.

    Wordpress really rocks at updates.
