hy

it would be good if there is one update.php script which ezp users can call, this script then detects the installed version and the new version to be installed and depending on the versions runs the x.x.x to x.y.z. sql update files.

so the steps to keep an ezp uptodate would be
- download newest .tar/.zip
- unpack the files into existing direcotry (overwrite existing)
- run update.php

sorry if I missed the idea of updating a ezp version, but i found absoulty no good doucmentation using the site search!!
i think an easy way to update is an important point, because CMS software are often the targets of attacks lately, so its important that users run the latest version.
