Drupal upgrade easier
The standard procedure to upgrade Drupal to the latest release is to download it from drupal.org and follow the included UPGRADE.txt.
For administrators using the UNIX shell it may be easier using the attached patch files below instead of downloading and installing the newest complete Drupal release.
To patch your Drupal installation follow UPGRADING.txt up to "5. Remove all of the old files and directories from the Drupal installation directory." Go on using this commands:
- cd your-drupal-directory
- Dry run: patch -p1 --dry-run < patchfile
- Patch: patch -p1 < patch-file
Proceed with UPGRADING.txt from "8. Verify the new configuration file to make sure it has the latest and correct information."
(If you are impatient just run the 3 commands above. Be warned: this may break your Drupal installation so make sure to have a backup at hand.)

Thank you so much for this page. I used to hate the "Update of the week" from drupal. With these patches it is a SNAP!

Thank you for your great job. I have used the drupal-5.14-to-5.15.patch on a multi-site installation and it worked without any errors.
Thanks a lot dude! With your work updating drupal it really takes just only a second! Thanks and thanks again :)
Thank you very very much.Worked without a hitch.
Once more, thank you so much for this page! Using these patches has really saved me lots of time when upgrading our system to 6.12.
I just upgraded three of my drupal sites using your patch files, and for once, they went smoothly, and QUICKLY!
Thank you!
Thank you for providing all this useful stuff on your page.
... runs like Schmidts cat!!!
Hi,
I have a windows based laptop from which I am going to try to upgrade my site which resides on a linux box. I currently use 6.6 and would like to upgrade to 6.14.
Can someone here please give me a step-by-step. I have been regretting not knowing enough and installing drupal. And upgradations are the only reasons. Please help.
thanks
Navs
Nice work, really nice work.
You saved me hours every upgrade!!
Im afraid to ask you, but did you check the 6.9 to 6.14 patch? Because im getting some errors and, since before it went smooth all the times, im wondering if maybe you upload a wrong file (i do it all the time ;) ).
Thanks again
Tried it with a fresh 6.9 and the patch went through without a hitch. May be you did some changes to your 6.9 files in the past?
I favor quick and simple approaches, and eventually gave yours a try with 6.14-to-6.15. For me, this is definitely the way to go. Thank you very much indeed!
Thanks for the great patch set - the update was smooth!
...a lot of them. I was choosing a CMS, and I was thinking about dropping drupal just for the upgrade complexity (hey, in wordpress is just clicking a button...). You saved the day.
