Updating WordPress with Subversion

As I’m in a daze with these things, I haven’t realized that the “so expected” 2.5 version of WordPress was out. And I have strong reasons to suspect ;)

The thing is today I stumble on wp-scanner, a security scanner for WordPress (which I’m not pretty sure if it works well or just works) and well, it makes me realize the oldest version of WordPress was beer2beer with the 2.1.2 -ahem-

Ok, ok, I know. It’s a little bit, ehem, outdated… But let’s face it, updating WordPress  is  was a real pain in the ass. And having new releases almost each week doesn’t help neither.

And here’s where I recall the golden rule (one of them): make people’s life easier, not harder. It’s already hard enough for you to make it harder.

So, let’s get to the point: How to upgrade WordPress painless? See what I discovered today:

Awesome! Almost as easy as an apt-get upgrade! I’ve just found some problems with some plugins in the Fregocles blog, which actually uses a lot of plugins, but for the rest, pretty straightforward!

Enjoy!
