From: Andy Armstrong Date: 14:17 on 26 Feb 2007 Subject: =?WINDOWS-1252?Q?3_EASY_STEPS_TO_UPGRADE_ZEN_CART=99?= 3 EASY STEPS TO UPGRADE ZEN CART=99 http://tutorials.zen-cart.com/index.php?article=3D108 Easy steps? That sounds good. So all I have to do is download a virgin copy of the version I have =20 installed, apply any patches that are applied to the installed =20 version, download the new version, diff the installed version with =20 the virgin copy of same, manually apply and differences to the new =20 version, upgrade the database, etc etc etc, test, repeat, swear a =20 bit, sob. Actually they're trying to explain to not-particularly-technical =20 users how to use diff and patch to merge local changes into a new =20 version of some software including handling possible changes to a =20 database schema. I imagine that at some point quite early in the =20 instructions their idea of 'easy' diverges sharply from said user's =20 idea of 'easy'. As someone who's quite used to working with patches the process still =20= looks pretty fraught. --=20 Andy Armstrong, hexten.net
