[Xerte-dev] Re: Upgrading to 1.8

[Julian Tenney]

OK.

Being a 'just do it' kind of guy, I am thinking about right now just copying the new files over the top. Having the site_details site_location thing makes it difficult to ape the install on ltdev without creating a new database.

If I backup the dir first, I can go back very quickly.

Right?
