+UPGRADE
+
+
+If you are upgrading from a previous version BACK UP your database.
+
+Once you are done with that, browse to
+
+http://${VHOST_HOSTNAME}/${VHOST_APPDIR}/wp-admin/upgrade.php
+
+and follow the instructions on the screen.
+
+Note that the default theme has changed between Wordpress 2.x and 3.x,
+so if you were using the default theme, your site will fail to load after
+the upgrade. Log in to the admin interface and open the themes section to
+reset to the new default theme. If you face other troubles after the
+upgrade, you might want to look for broken plugins or themes.

+!!!!!!!!! SECURITY WARNING !!!!!!!!!!!
+
+Wordpress has had a history of serious security flaws. Any application
+with less widespread use but the same amount of security issues would
+have been removed from the tree.
+
+After a short period of being in the unstable tree we once again decided
+that we hard mask the package.
+
+THIS MEANS THAT THERE IS NO GUARANTEE WHATSOEVER THAT THE PACKAGE WILL
+GET UPGRADED WITHIN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME EVEN IN THE CASE OF
+SEVERE SECURITY ISSUES.
+
+We consider installing this package a severe risk to your system and
+you should keep a close eye on the common security trackers so
+that you are able to fix problems with your installation yourself if
+required.
