Upgrading Redmine, quick and dirty: To use it append the download path for the Redmine zip file and the name of the current version (e.g. redmine-2.0.3) as parameters. You will probably need to adjust the BASE_PATH to reflect the path to the directory whe

# download redmine (the zip version)
wget $DOWNLOAD

# unzip the downloaded file
unzip $BASE_PATH$ZIP_FILE

# remove the downloaded file
