I won't do anything on the live server, but installing RPM, or a similar
package tested on another machine. It takes a few seconds to install new
stuff (and remove old) and a few more secs to restart the server -- you
are done.
Another approach is to use CVS, if you have a very fast connection, so you
can ensure that all the data will be updated very fast.
