The main thing to look out for here is to see if the directory structure is clean:<br><br>All of the contributed modules should be placed in sites/x/modules (where x is "all", or in a multi-site environment, perhaps a URL).<br>
<br>That way, whatever method you use to update Drupal core will not destroy any custom or contrib modules used in the site's architecture.<br><br>Then: see <a href="http://groups.drupal.org/node/19513">http://groups.drupal.org/node/19513</a><br>
<br>Read all of it, it shares many experiences and opinions on the updating of both Drupal core and contrib modules.<br><br>Victor Kane<br><a href="http://awebfactory.com.ar">http://awebfactory.com.ar</a><br><a href="http://projectflowandtracker.com">http://projectflowandtracker.com</a><br>

<p>I have never used a site that has been built using CVS
before. I have inherited a site that was built using CVS. We don’t have
SSH set-up yet with the host but I want to make sure I am not going to mess
anything up by adding a modules to the site that is not downloaded through CVS
and then when we get SSH I can replace it that way.</p>

<p>Thanks,</p>
