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.

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.

So finally got my plugin up on WordPress.org’s repository:

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.
