Shell commands to upgrade to WP 2.6.1

Just upgraded this blog to WP 2.6.1 via ssh. Went just fine (knock on wood). Here’s the commands I used, for my own reference as much as anyone else’s:


wget http://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz
rm -rf wp-includes
rm -rf wp-admin
tar -xzvf latest.tar.gz
cp -rpf wordpress/* .


Of course, you’ll want to replace “.” in the last line with the address of your wordpress directory. In my case, I use the root directory.
