This drupal running-update page says:

The update script should only be run once, it will complete all the updates at once. When prompted for which version, choose the closest starting version that makes sense for you :

But is that closest before or after the changelog.text date? Or should one pick the exact date that is listed on Changelog?

Also, The link is dead on that page and needs to be repaired. It is crucial information. Also, the phrase "that makes sense for you" is a little vague

Two links on Drupal upgrade page are broken -- "closest starting version" and "known database update errors".
Do those pages exist elsewhere?

The last time I had to do a major upgrade of Drupal, it was at the 4.5 branch and the updates were referred to by their version numbers. Now I'm staring at a drop-down list with numbers from 110 to 182 and wondering if I'll have to try log(N) of them to get to the right update...

Thank you for your help!

Went to update.php source and found this:


    $sql_updates = array(
      '2004-10-31: first update since Drupal 4.5.0 release' => 110,

    );

Will brave 110.
