I find upgrade scripts and installers to much magic for me and I like installing PHP software using more low-level ways: get archive, unpack it, copy this and that, edit config settings, etc.

Unfortunately(at least for me) FUDforum is shipped as a wizard and there're no traditional release tarballs(I couldn't find any). Thus I decided to go the CVS route and check out FUDforum from there.

Hence I have the question regarding database schema changes between releases. Can I safely, say, use database schema from 2.7.4 with HEAD code(which is 2.7.7RC2 atm). What is the general rule for assigning releases versions if database schema is changed? Are you changing the minor number in this case(meaning 2.7.4 schema is compatible with 2.7.7)?

The upgrade script updates the database if needed based on the table definitions inside the sql directory. Because that is the case database schema can change between any release version.

Hmm...I see. Does it mean you recommend applying all upgrade scripts one-by-one released since 2.7.4 up to 2.7.7RC2 in my case?

No, the upgrade scripts are cumulative, the script for 2.7.7 will upgrade the forum on its own from any 2.2+ release.

Thanks, just one more question. The most optimal way to move from 2.7.4 to CVS HEAD in my case will be:

1) run the latest upgrade script which updates the database schema
2) checkout CVS HEAD somewhere
3) configure working copy so that it uses upgraded database
4) copy my custom themes to the working copy

?

That sounds about right.
