			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>5 minutes is a <strong>long</strong> time for upgrading WP, as far as I&#8217;m concerned.  I think it might have taken 5 minutes total to upgrade all three of my current WP installs and check/fix plugin issues.  Mind you, I use <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing/Updating_WordPress_with_Subversion">the subversion method of upgrading</a>.  If you have shell access and can run subversion, it is so incredibly easy to upgrade WP with it that I don&#8217;t ever want to go back to the download-unzip-upload stuff I used to do.  In a post <a href="http://2718.us/blog/2008/04/14/matt-yes-that-matt-on-wordpress-security/">I referenced earlier</a>, Matt said:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Upgrade your blog to the latest WP.</strong> This <em>shouldn’t</em> be hard. <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-automatic-upgrade/">There are plugins for it</a>, if you’re techy <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing/Updating_WordPress_with_Subversion">use Subversion</a>, <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress">there is the standard FTP method</a>, and finally <a href="http://mediatemple.net/">Media Temple</a>, <a href="http://dreamhost.com/">Dreamhost</a>, and <a href="http://bluehost.com/">Bluehost</a> (through SimpleScripts) all have been pretty good about having their one-click upgrade systems ready with new versions within a day or two of a release.</p></blockquote>
<p>I&#8217;m techy, sure, but I don&#8217;t know much about subversion other than it seems to have replaced CVS and I didn&#8217;t know much of anything about CVS other than that people working on big OSS projects seemed to use it.  (Okay, I know a little more about what subversion and CVS are supposed to do, but I&#8217;ve never actually used a check-in/check-out/versioning system.)  I literally just installed subversion with the package manager on my system, then used <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing/Updating_WordPress_with_Subversion">the commands given in the WP Codex</a>.  Not very techy-like.  Done.</p>
