There's a new version of wordpress out, version 1.5. It is very popular, and should definitely be upgraded and brought out of .mask purgatory Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Wordpress requires: * PHP 4.1 or greater * MySQL 3.23.23 or greater * The mod_rewrite Apache module (from http://wordpress.org/about/requirements/) A comprehensive installation guide: http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress Here's an upgrade guide: http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/upgrade/
Actually, considering the very involved upgrade path, I'd like to see this in ".mask purgatory" for a bit, and unmask once the crying over lost blogs dies down ;) .
Created attachment 52075 [details] Updated ebuild For upgrades: Be sure not to delete wp-config.php Visit: http://yoursite/wordpress/wp-admin/upgrade.php
Is this ebuild going to be updated?
Used this e-build, and works for me, but that is on a fresh install, not an upgrade, FYI.
i'm pretty sure that anyone upgrading will be careful since this is their oh-so-precious blog, so I don't see it being a problem. Plus It's really not bad. The ebuild works fine for me, so this is generally a good thing(tm) now. Plus most people have already upgraded who already have wordpress, so I think this ebuild is only going to affect new wordpressers, which is also a good thing.
Me-too-ism enclosed. Whenever you guys can get this into portage, it would be massively appreciated. And thanks again for your excellent work!! :) Rob L.
I'd add a warning in an einfo to upgraders, though.
AFAIR it was nothing more than following these instructions to keep your old theme: http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrade_1.2_to_1.5
FYI - this is now up to 1.5.1.1
See bug #88926
1.5.1.2 is in the tree. Enjoy. :)
