Mediawiki backup & upgrade

OER server has an all-in-one solution to backup the MW instance and replace the MW code by an other (newer one). To achieve to do this, the script only needs a master directory with the newer Mediawiki (with a configured LocalSettings.php and all necessaries extensions. The script is localised current at /home/kelson/updateMediawikiInstance.pl (call it without argument to learn how to use it). The code repository of this script is here.

To update OCG, Parsoid, mwoffliner and Semantic Mediawiki you should refer to the original documentation.
