Drupal upgrade

First post after upgrade =) Just upgraded from 5.12 to 6.6 In short (NOTE! not a proper instruction just a debrief);

• put in offline mode
• backup database and htdocs
• emerge new version
• use ‘updated’ module to find the correct modules version for the new major version
• uninstall as many contributed modules as possible
• run webapp-config
• copy back sites directory (.htaccess and robots.txt too if modified)
• unpack the modules you want in the modules dir
• run the www.yoursite.com/update.php
• try to poke around as much as possible

There was some quirks, some of the modules I failed to uninstall wasn’t working and I got some duplicate menu entries but apart from that I think it’s ok.
