Upgraded WordPress using subversion
Tags: wiki, wordpress
Upgraded to 2.9.2 using subversion. I documented the process on the wiki.
Although I was originally kind of sketchy on using subversion to upgrade WordPress, I am now more familiar with subversion so I think I will be sticking to this method instead of using rsync.

Temporarily changing default gid
Tags: wiki
I was not satisfied with just chgrp -R files that were created with SVN so decided to do some research on how Linux determines which gid to assign to a file when created.
I was hoping that it was as simple as just changing an environment variable but that was not the case. However, I came across this tlpd.org page:
http://tldp.org/LDP/intro-linux/html/sect_03_04.html
It brought to my attention the newgrp and id commands. I wrote up a quick wiki article about this.

Unique Comment Notify up on WordPress.org
Tags: unique comment notify, wordpress
So finally got my plugin up on WordPress.org’s repository:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/unique-comment-notify/
My submission was pending for a little bit less than a month but I can’t complain–it’s free hosting.
This is actually only the 2nd time I have played around with repositories. I experimented with svn when attempting to follow WordPress.org’s how-to on updating it’s software. However, because of my non-traditional setup, it didn’t really work for me. I ended up using a more involved method of upgrading.
