I did a full upgrade here (saving just the content folder and config file). Haven’t done much testing yet, but baseline things seem to be working. Watch the comments for other notes.

I did the backup of the database using phpMyAdmin (pretty straightforward) and of the old content from the command line. If I’d had only ftp access, I suppose it would have been just as easy. But it might be nice to have a script that would
read list of checksums of previous distribution
for all files in new distribution
if corresponding file exists in old distribution and it has been changed from previous distribution
then
move copy of old file to backup directory structure
endif
install file from new distribution
endfor
This would have caught the fact I needed to save .htaccess (I didn’t remember that setting up permalinks changed this) and may help with figuring out the RSS links (maybe in wp-blog-header.php?) and the changes to the themes.
