WordPress Rocks at Updates

Tuesday, July 15th, 2008

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.

Simple WordPress Upgrade Using Subversion

Sunday, October 28th, 2007

I’ve been using subversion to update WordPress for a few minor revisions now. I simply followed the 2.2 branch and ran…

svn up

…to update my code.

Today I ran…

svn switch http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress/branches/2.3

…followed by visiting the upgrade script page and everything worked beautifully!

Anyone not using subversion to update WordPress is doing way too much work! Time to play with tags…

Now if I was really cool I’d use bzr to maintain my local code changes and plugins in my own repository… maybe later.
