Re: [Tiki-devel] testing tiki version and virtualmin (switching)

Hi Bernard

Always a tricky decision, and definitely pros and cons for all recipes...

I added an example snippet to https://doc.tiki.org/upgrade#Shell_Commands_for_swapping_versions_around after messing it up a few times. Notably the `shopt -s dotglob` magin incantation which makes the cp/mv command include hidden dot files and dirs... (on Debian)

Hope that helps a bit, we should probably add a new page for this kind of thing - "upgrade part 2" or something?
