Our Mediawiki instances are installed from Subversion. We update them by simply switching
to a different stable branch.
Because the "extensions" directory comes from a different
repository, we need to take care not to confuse Subversion's little mind when it sees it.
Hence, we keep around a copy of the original extensions directory from the main repository.
mv extensions extensions.keep
mv extensions.orig extensions
svn switch http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/branches/REL1_16/phase3
mv extensions extensions.orig
mv extensions.new extensions
cd extensions
svn switch http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/branches/REL1_16/extensions
cd ..
Now run update scripts:
cd maintenance
php update.php
If the SemanticMediaWiki extension is enabled (we don't use it), also refresh its tables:
cd extensions/SemanticMediaWiki/maintenance
php SMW_setup.php
