Upgrading Drupal

Is there someplace I can get nightly/weekly 6.8 maintenance snapshots?

Hello,

I'm about to upgrade from 6.4 to 6.8. My questions:

1. Should I go straight from 6.4 to 6.8 or in steps. I believe I *should* be able to go straight from 6.4 to 6.8.

2. Is there anything I should know about problems with upgrading to 6.8? Seems like there are several threads going on that.

Thanks in advance,

devGuy

I have somewhat of a basic question, but I can't find an answer in documentation or anywhere else. Let's say I have a multisite setup, and I'm upgrading Drupal to the next minor version (i.e. from 6.7 to 6.8). Now, if I follow the upgrade documents, there's quite a few steps I have to follow for EACH site. Some of them are easy to automate (e.g. taking sites off- and back online, etc.), but it still looks like I have to run update.php manually on each site. Is there a way around this? Can I just run something ONCE to have all sites updated?

I'm new to Drupal - I used mediatemple to install drupal, which it defaults to Drupal 4 and then says you're on your own for later versions. So I followed the upgrade procedure for 5.14 and it worked just fine. But when I went from 5.14 to 6.8 and I go through the database configurations options, I can't point it to my database as mysql is not an option, only mysqli and pgsql.

Thoughts? And is anyone else using drupal through a provider such as mediatemple?

I just updated my drupal 6.6 installation to 6.8. Not a very complicated operation as I don't have any custom modules and I use the default theme.

What I DO have is a swedish language pack installed, and nothing in the upgrade docs mention that. After the updating the swedish language seems to work without any action from me. How can that be?

To be sure I unpacked the language pack in the new install directory as well.

Exactly what do I need to do during updating when I use custom languages? Did I do something wrong?

This topic: http://drupal.org/node/304866 makes me believe that the database schema for the book module did not get updated from version 5 to version 6 when I upgraded.

Container pages now display this error:

user warning: Unknown column 'b.bid' in 'field list' query: SELECT b.bid, ml.* FROM book b INNER JOIN menu_links ml ON b.mlid = ml.mlid WHERE b.nid = 40 in /home/ccag/public_html/sites/all/modules/category/wrappers/book/book.module on line 239.
