About
WPUpdater is a simple bash script for upgrading WordPress directly from WordPress subversion repository.
The script will backup the current WordPress installation and database into a single zip file; cleans up everything that's part of the WordPress release package; and ignores custom themes, plugins, and the wp-config.php file.
The backup zip, wpbackup.zip, is located in the WordPress installation directory. The script does not merge in changes to the wp-config.php file, and these changes will have to be manually merged in after the update process has completed.
