Wordpress 2.0.1 was released two days ago. Since this release apparently fixes 114 bugs from version 2.0, there’s no reason not to upgrade.
Since I have my site together with a pristine copy of the wordpress version I’m currently using in subversion, updating it is painless.
First, download the new version and unpack it
# tar zxvf latest.tar.gz
Import the new version to wordpress/current (handling new, renamed and deleted files) and tag it as version 2.0.1
# svn_load_dirs -t 2.0.1 https://svn.ejohansson.se/repos/erik/src/ejohansson.se/wordpress current wordpress/
Merge the changes between version 2.0 and 2.0.1 to my main development branch trunk
# svn merge https://svn.ejohansson.se/repos/erik/src/ejohansson.se/wordpress/2.0/ https://svn.ejohansson.se/repos/erik/src/ejohansson.se/wordpress/2.0.1/ ejohansson.se/trunk
In case of conflicts, handle them and then commit the updated site
# svn ci ejohansson.se/trunk -m "Updated wordpress to 2.0.1"
Update the live site
# svn export ejohansson.se/trunk /home/www/ejohansson.se --force
Surf to http://ejohansson.se/wp-admin/upgrade.php to upgrade the wordpress database.
Done!
Disclaimer: You should of course backup your database and deactivate all plugins before performing the last two steps. Just to be safe. I didn’t, and so far, nothing is broken. But your milage may vary!
