I have just upgraded to WordPress 2.5 and run a plugin update check. Most of the plugins work, which is amazing! Some plugins (two out of 31) were outdated and the automatic update procedure (either through the plugin central “plugin” or built-in wordpress, I dont know) worked out of the box, too. I just had to input my ftp credentials. Upgrading wordpress to 2.5 went without any major troubles as I used subversion. Again I had to use the sw command instead of the up command.
(see when-svn-up-does-not-work-wordpress-subversion for more and replace 2.3.3 by 2.5, else you downgrade by chance). Weird. Akismet was kind of “crapped out”, so was was form-advanced.php. I deleted them through putty and run an svn update again which fixed it.

Also I did the monthly sql optimization and junked out 9mb of crap. phpMyAdmin’s “optimize” sql works a charm!

What I need to do-
- contact alinks author-
- http://www.alinks.org/ as it is broken in version 1.0rc1
- fix the ela archive: Could not open cache file ’2008-4.dat’
-restore my fancy 404 page which I seem to have lost. anyone got it?
404 chibby page where are you!
- fix search (looks crap)
- update some of my themes?

There are a bunch of new plugins I want to test, but that has to wait till I have my term paper done (sigh)

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!

svn coppermine install

Today WordPress 2.3.3. was released as an urgent security update to the last version.
I wanted to update my install by making use of my subversion install:
so as usually I’d go on with opening PuTTy and logging into my server.
From sh I’d enter

svn up

This for some reason did not fetch all files and no real update was carried out. Any idea why? I have no guess.
So what I did was:

svn sw http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress/tags/2.3.3/

More to type, but luckily this does update everything. Still an annoyance that svn up did not work.
