[Vtigercrm-developers] daily tests

[Matthew Brichacek]

You know, thats actually the best way to do it, I was looking at our
upgrade script while I wrote that (which does a full snapshot of the
current system in case of problems).
OK, so svn update it is on the current vtiger root, now.. how about the
DB?  It could be interesting to build a new clean db from the schema,
then do a dump and maybe compare it to the current DB and try to make
changes?  Sounds confusing but I bet it wouldn't be _too_ bad, and no
settings, etc are lost in most cases.
