How do I update my official website from SVN?

[mtanislav]

Hello,

There are times when the latest release has some bugs. This bugs are quickly resolved in SVN but it takes time for the new release to appear and we need this bugs fixed right away. So, until the upgrade process is improved ( for ex. like the upgrade with wordpress, so simple and so fine) I have a question.

How do we update the shop to the latest SVN v. every time we want too.

Why do I ask and need this? Let me give an ex. : you want to install the new release 1.4.1 (change log 6030), but you found out that there is a tab bug. This bug was like instantly fixed in SVN, but until a new release will be available it can take some time. So naturally you want to install the latest SVN (change log 6036) witch fixes this bug.

How do I do that because the normal procedure can't apply. I tried to change the settings.inc.php and say that the previously version installed was 1.4.0.17 but it gives 6 sql errors.

Please tell me how do I update prestashop, every time I want to, with the latest SVN version?

Is there a way to do that or is just for testing purpose?

PS: very noob at this.
