Install Coppermine SVN (or upgrade/update)

Uploading and Installing Coppermine is really is a time-consuming task – not if you can use subversion from the box and simply type:

svn co https://coppermine.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/coppermine coppermine

but just to be better safe than sorry I’d go for

svn co https://coppermine.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/coppermine/trunk/cpg1.4.x/ coppermine

because this is the version that is currently being worked and developed on.
As by the day of writing this, the most recent security release (patch) is only 3 days old- so there is work in progress.

I was not able (yet) to find out the real difference between coppermine 1.4 and 1.5 (or coppermine 1.4.x and 1.5.x) – usually higher numbers are better- right?

somehow though, it seems like the coppermine 1.4.x version is the only actively maintained and supported one (generally speaking in terms of themes and plugins and other fancy gadgets such as bridges to WordPress etc).

If you know anything new, please leave a comment!
