Hi.
Using diff, I figured out that only 294 files have changed, most of them related to messages. Will it be safe to replace only these 294 files in order to upgrade from rc1 to rc2? If so, is anybody interested in a patch file?
Yes, you can just update the files when upgrading from rc1 to rc2, there's no need to re-run the installer or to change LocalSettings.php.
Thanks for the answer.
I produced a patch file for upgrading from rc1 to rc2:
diff -upr mediawiki-1.13.0rc1 mediawiki-1.13.0rc2 > /tmp/patch-1.13.0rc1-rc2
and applied it like this in the installation directory:
patch -p1 < /tmp/patch-1.13.0rc1-rc2
Worked perfectly!
Sven P.S. Anybody wants to host this patch file?
