WordPress upgraded to 2.0.2
The DreamHost admin panel has been taunting me for many weeks now with a shiny link that would allow me to instantly update my WordPress installation. I’ve been meaning to upgrade to 2.0.2 for some time, so tonight I made a backup of my database and then asked DreamHost to do their thing.
Disappointment. I got email a few minutes later telling me the upgrade failed because DreamHost couldn’t download the necessary files. First, what happened? I was able to download WordPress just fine. Second, why is the upgrade for 2.0.2 pulling from wordpress.org directly? They don’t even make 2.0.2 available directly, they just have a version titled “latest”. Third, why isn’t DreamHost caching the download? I suppose it makes some sense to give WordPress a better idea of how many times it’s been downloaded, but there are better ways of figuring that out.
Anyway, I ended up downloading WordPress on my own and installed it by hand. Let me know if you see any issues.
