Hi.
Just some short thoughts: Lets call your current installation directory
"roundcube-patched". I would do the following:
- backup the database
- Extract the new 1.2.5 archive next to it: "roundcubemail-1.2.5"
- php roundcubemail-1.2.5/bin/installto.sh roundcubemail-prod
This will use the 1.2.5 core code, but take over your settings,
database, plugins, etc.
Now you can test if your current plugins work well with this version.
to be honest: I would do it like that, but with the version of roundcube
you are currently running. If there are no problems you can upgrade this
installation to 1.2.5, but if you have any issues they will be more easy
to find on the same version.
In order to get a staging system simply set up a second vhost, clone
your "roundcube-patched" directory, clone your database, adapt some
settings and you are good to go.
For you own patches to RC core I suggest using a github fork from RC,
apply your changes there and easily keep track of the changes. If a new
version is released pull it into your repo, create a diff from your
changes and apply them to your RC installation. Or even dont use the RC
downloads anymore but run from a checkout of your repo.
Bye, Daniel
