Topic: Upgrading an SVN install?

Hello, if I install the latest SVN release can I keep installing subsequent releases until the final version comes out without losing any data? And how, in a nut shell, do I upgrade as new SVN's become available?

Best wishes
Lee

i like to occasionally upgrade using a patch file but there's probably better ways.

Assuming you haven't edited any files (which you shouldn't in 1.3) just copy the new version over the old files. If the database has changed it will ask you to run db_update.php and provide a link for you to do so.

Thanks.

If I stick to just restyling (css only) 1.3 will I be safe, or should I expect classes, id and html to be changing as the final release approaches and thus breaking mt styling

Thanks again

It will be changing between now and beta 3, which should be soon. After beta 3 it should be frozen, except for any bug fixes etc.

To note, if you SSH'ed into your box and used a "svn checkout http://fluxbb.org/svn/fluxbb/branches/f … ev/upload/ ." you can simply direct yourself to your roor forum directory and type "svn update"

It's how I keep myself up to date.
