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

   Is the WordPress and other software versions upgraded the moment a new update is made available?

   Good 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.

   Like you, I prefer doing all the installations myself. I prefer the control I have when I do it manually over the ease of a one-click install.

   You mean cracked, not hacked

   I’ve changed it to a more neutral “compromised”

   A 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.

   Wouldn’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.

   @ Ajay: My installatron install is WordPress 2.12, so I guess that means it is updated very frequently.

    That is a good thing Johan…
