I'm trying to figure out the simplest instructions possible for someone doing a point release upgrade on D5 (e.g. 5.6 - 5.7) who will <span style="font-weight: bold;">not </span>be doing it from CVS. (I couldn't find it in the handbook a page which specifically describes point release upgrades, I guess I missed it?)<br>
<br>My question is, Is it appropriate to recommend to someone performing a site upgrade that they should just delete the sites directory from the fresh distro they downloaded?<br><br>So the entire instructions would be.<br>
<br>1. back-up db<br>2. back up drupal directory<br>3. download tar ball<br>4. Untar tar ball<br><span style="font-weight: bold;">5</span>. delete <span style="font-weight: bold;">sites</span> directory from fresh untarred drupal directory<br>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">6</span>. Move all files and folders over to drupal directory on your site.<br><span style="font-weight: bold;">7</span>. When FTP client says "okay to overwrite" say "yes" for all.<br>
<br>Let me know if this is correct.<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Shai<br><br><br>
