HOW-TO: Using SVN to keep your WordPress Blog up-to-date Use statically linked binaries for SVN and cron jobs to install and update your blog to the most up-to-date release of WordPress. Thanks to Robert Deaton for helping me with the same. [EDIT] While you are reading this article, please, please keep in mind that Forum support does not cover SVN. In other words, if you decide to use the bleeding edge code on your blog and have problems with the code, you probably will not receive help from the forums.
