im in ur svn upgradin ur blogz

by

Holy freaking crap, Batman, upgrading to WordPress 2.2 was ultra simple using Subversion, and the instructions in the Codex.

In fact, being not an SVN n00b I cheated and ran:

svn sw http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress/tags/2.2/ .

on my production blog. Afterwards a quick “svn status” showed me I needed to nuke a few things in wp-includes and run “svn update”. In fact, I cheated there, too, removing the whole wp-includes directory and letting svn restore it. Freakin’ sweet. I was fully expecting to have to resort to my backup copy at some point here.

I also noted that this will be my 512th blog post, a milestone only a dork could love. Go 2^9! Right up there with the photo of my Jeep’s odometer when it went loopback. Glad I had my camera handy for that one. Whew.

Thanks y’all, and as always, thanks for reading.

  2. Thanks for this. I’ve dreaded updating wordpress since I started using. Had it updated with svn in less than 5 min. 🙂
