My webhost offers Installatron, this enables me to upgrade my WordPress install with just one click. Now that is what I call easy

Johan (3 comments.) — 03/3/2007 @ 6:00 pmIs the WordPress and other software versions upgraded the moment a new update is made available?

Ajay (142 comments.) — 03/3/2007 @ 11:37 pmGood question, Ajay. That’s exactly what I wanted to know. My sister is changing hosts and the one she’s considering has a similar one-click install, but I’m afraid to use it. I seriously hope she has shell access on that host; I’ll svn it for her and be done.

Ajay (142 comments.) — 03/4/2007 @ 12:05 amA lot of people have been getting pissy about the terminology used today. I have to admit, I was one of them at first, but it’s really not that important if you think about it. The main thing is just update, already.

Jonathan (81 comments.) — 03/4/2007 @ 12:12 amWouldn’t it be much easier if WordPress have three types of packages:
security update
core upgrade
fresh install
I don’t know how many files were affected in this case, but if we had only the changed files and the upgrade.php it would be much easier -> upload the files (let say 200KB) -> run upgrade.php -> DONE.

Nikolai Sisoev (1 comments.) — 03/4/2007 @ 4:33 am@ Ajay: My installatron install is WordPress 2.12, so I guess that means it is updated very frequently.
