I'm currently running 1.3.5 on Jaguar.. but I plan to upgrade to 1.3.6 soon. I'm just not sure about a safe, efficient way of upgrading the custom pages and my data. I started with one included theme then changed the logos and a few static pages and icons..

Any advice? Oh, and since Jaguar includes a MySQL user with different permissions and no shell, I haven't been able to use a symbolic link to the mysql databases like with 10.1.5 ...I used to have my databases stored on a separate drive but now I'm forced to keep them on the system drive in /usr/local/mysql (in Jaguar you can't make a symbolic link be owned by the mysql user)

I would probably install the new version in its own directory, and then compare files and move things across as needed. You can install the new one in a "gl136" directory, for example, and then just look at both sites in your browser and move files in the Finder/Terminal as necessary.
