How does one go about actually doing the upgrade?
I'm building a Scoop-based discussion site to replace the OpenNIC mailing list, and have 0.6-pre2 running _fairly_ well, but there seem to have been quite a few nifty new bits added since that was built. So I wanted to pull up to current, after reading hurstdog's commemt below, but upgrading just the Perl (though it did work fairly well) broke some important stuff. For example, the "Read More ..." link disappeared from the story synopsis on the front page.
Presumably, therefore, there are db bits that need upgrading as well (naturally, since that's where the boxes are). So how do I know which bits are upgrades? I looked in the patches subdirectory under structs, and several of those look even older then 0.6-pre2.
And how would I keep an upgrade from clobbering the changes I've made (especially the formatting repairs in a couple of the boxes and my templates)?
Aaargh! ;-)
Thanks,
