[wp-testers] Auto upgrade to 2.8 not working?

[Rafael Poveda <RaveN>]

I have upgraded about 10 WP by now, and it's working correctly.

Make sure your hosting have writing permissions for nobody user.  
Usually, WordPress writes in your system not with the ftp user, but  
nobody user (65543:1000). If your hosting is not prepared to handle  
it, it will be able to download the archive, but will not be able to  
decompress it.

The same works for plugins. If you need to put your FTP user when  
installing or updating plugins, you have this problem. If it is well  
configured, plugins might update automatically, without need the FTP  
user.
