[wp-testers] upgrading from 2.0.12

[alonzo fretwell]

hi,

i am running wp 2.0.12 on a debian etch server. i like the archetecture of
the install but i want the new features.

is it possible for me to just unpack 3.0 such that it would replace 2.0.12
on my system?

/usr/share/wordpress is the location of my current version of wp as
installed by apt-get. can i just unpack 3.0 in /usr/share and follow the
5min instructions? i presume all the symbolic links and so forth would be
the same but i could be wrong.

also, the reason i want to use the current apt-get install architecture is
that i could not get custom permalinks to work with 2.9.2 using the 5min
instructions (but custom permalinks ~does~ work with wordpress.deb install).

please advise.
