Upgrading DokuWiki

This document covers the upgrade procedure for StartupCTO (which is run with DokuWiki). It should be performed whenever a new version of DokuWiki is released.

• Backup the current StartupCTO DokuWiki directory (twice)

  tar cvfz ~/backup/scto/scto_full_020510.tar.gz scto
  cp -Rp scto ~/scto.bak

• Get the latest version, and unzip it (it will go in a new directory, e.g. dokuwiki-2009-12-25).
• In the conf directory, find all the *.dist files; you'll notice dokuwiki has auto-generated non dist versions for you. Copy those to the new site after reviewing them.
• Make sure there weren't any additions to the language file (and if there were, port them over).

  diff -r scto/inc/lang/en/ /dokuwiki-2009-12-25/inc/lang/en/

• Now you need to move any code modifications made to DokuWiki to the new codebase. Find the changes with:

  grep -rin SCTO *

  and port them over by hand.

• Do the same thing with the plugin files. You'll probably have to copy some images and a few things as well. You should also consider looking on the dokuwiki site for new versions of available plugins.
• Delete the existing files in scto, leaving the directories intact (so svn doesn't complain).
• Copy the new source (with the patches for SCTO) over to the existing directory:

  cp -Rpfv dokuwiki-2009-12-25/ scto/

• Test everything
