update-mediawiki [-v version] target

 

OPTIONS

-v version
Specifies the version to use. By default, it uses "current". See /afs/.ugcs/public/mediawiki to see the versions currently available

target
The target directory to update

 

EXAMPLES

update-mediawiki ~/public/html/wiki

PROCESS

The script starts by backing up the installation by tar'ing it up and dumping the database. It then untars the new version, patches it, and runs the included updater. If necessary, it generates AdminSettings.php with reasonable settings.
