Easily Keep Wordpress Updated

Jake5/22/2007

Over at Lone SysAdmin Bob links to a great doc on the Wordpress Codex showing you how to update your blog using Subversion. I followed it and had my blog updated within 5 min to the newest version. Now all I have to do to update my blog is run:

$ svn co http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress/tags/$NEW_VERSION . and then go to the admin page, let Wordpress upgrade my database and everything is up and running. Of course make sure you back everything up before trying this but it worked for me in less than 5 minutes my blog was running new code.
