[wp-hackers] Quick Install WP from SVN

[Beau Lebens]

In case anyone's interested, I thought I'd share this quick shell
script I use to set up a new install of WP. Usage is like this
(assuming it's saved as a file called "wordpress" and is in your
path):

$ wordpress wp27 tags/2.7

That would install 2.7 into a directory called "wp27" and would
attempt to create a database called "wp27" as well.

It's very basic, and doesn't do any checks of any kind, but hey -- it
gets the job done. Also, this is for development purposes on a local
machine only (thus the open permissions), and is not recommended for
production/live installs.

Just paste the following into a file, call it "wordpress" (no
extension), drop it into your path and make it excutable.

Works on my Mac. YMMV.

Cheers,
Beau
