Note: the following are instructions for upgrading between minor versions; for major versions (x.y versions, as opposed to x.y.z versions), you should read the documentation for the revision.
Step 1: Backup LocalSettings.php
Step 2: Unpack MediaWiki tarfile into the proper directory
Step 3: Copy LocalSettings.php into $MEDIAWIKI_ROOT
Step N: Reinstall SpamBlacklist As far as I know, this must be reinstalled whenever you update MediaWiki to a new version; to do this, run the following:
cd $MEDIAWIKI_ROOT cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/wikipedia login cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/wikipedia co extensions/SpamBlacklist cd extensions/SpamBlacklist chmod +x load_lists ./load_lists
Then, follow the instructions in extensions/SpamBlacklist/README; in particular, ensure that the proper line is in LocalSettings.php.
Step N+1: Copy over the old $MEDIAWIKI_ROOT/extensions/SpamBlacklist/local_blacklist to the new tree.
Step N+K: Re-run the load_lists script periodically to get the latest spam blacklist.
