I had recently been on the MindTouch site, and saw they had a fresh new upgrade. Version 9.02.4 is available. So I figured I would upgrade again and test it out. Same as last time, in my January 2009 upgrade to 8.08 - I’m using virtual machines - so I just made a copy of the version 8.08.2 instance, named it 9.09.4 instead, and started it up. Its exactly the same as the 8.08.2 at this point - so after that, I just run the update/upgrade, if you can believe it, its this easy :


vmDekiWiki:~# /usr/bin/updateWiki.sh
-- script /usr/bin/updateWiki.sh updated - restarting --
-- updating wiki at /var/www/deki-hayes --
URL: https://dekiwiki.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/dekiwiki/deki/web

-- updating database --
-- restarting Deki Wiki --
-- update complete --
vmDekiWiki:~#

Its really that easy. After it was done, everything looked the same, all my pages are still there, and all looks good. I have to test the image uploader that gave me so much trouble last time, and a few other things like the new look and feel. It is a great product and just keeps getting better.
