wheezy php 5.5 upgrade notes

gistfile1.sh

# very rough php 5.4->5.5 upgrade guide
# your environment may differ slightly, just let me know and I'll help out where I can.

# go to http://www.dotdeb.org/instructions/ and add the wheezy php 5.5 repositories under
# section 2 to /etc/apt/sources.list
#
# It's safe to leave the default dotdeb entries if you want.

# method 1 (preferred, easiest)
# upgrade all packages
# ___ DO NOT ALLOW THE INSTALLER TO OVERWRITE YOUR CONFIGURATIONS! ___
# ___ answer the default 'N' to all overwrite questions ___
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

# method 2 (you're on your own)
# upgrade all php* packages to 5.5 manually
#dpkg --get-selections | grep php

# manually upgrade each package ^
#apt-get upgrade <pkg>

# okay, now a few php modules need to be reinstalled from source

# if you see any errors here regarding a package not being installed
# that's fine, just continue along.
