Description emory stuart taylor 2005-02-16 15:56:25 UTC

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/)

Here's an upgrade guide:

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 ;) .

Is this ebuild going to be updated?

Comment 4 Jesse Adelman 2005-03-29 12:15:19 UTC

Used this e-build, and works for me, but that is on a fresh install, not an upgrade, FYI.

Comment 5 emory stuart taylor 2005-03-29 19:18:43 UTC

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!! :)

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:
