Updating WordPress

EDIT: Don’t follow this, a properly set up installation will keep itself updated

Updating wordpress:

mkdir ~/temp
cd ~/temp/
wget http://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz
tar -xzvf latest.tar.gz

cd /var/www/html/

sudo rm -Rf wp-admin/
sudo rm -Rf wp-includes/

sudo cp -R ~/temp/wordpress/wp-admin/ .
sudo cp -R ~/temp/wordpress/wp-includes/ .


rsync -vcrultO ~/temp/wordpress/wp-content/ wp-content/

sudo chgrp -R apache .
sudo chown -R apache .

rsync -nvcrultO --exclude 'wp-content' --exclude 'wp-includes' --exclude 'wp-admin' ~/temp/wordpress/* .
