svn co http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress-mu/branches/2.7 ./wpmu
cd wpmu/wp-content/plugins
svn co https://svn.buddypress.org/trunk ./buddypress
svn co [my-plugin-repo-url] [my-plugin-dir]
Then when you want to update WPMU just svn up in /wpmu/ and when you want to update BuddyPress just svn up in /plugins/buddypress/
Since all three are primarily developed by people working for Automattic, you can expect them to continue to work together. You should also expect them to integrate even better in the future. I wouldn’t worry too much about it.
If you are just using the default templates you will just be able to overwrite everything from RC-1 to RC-2 and then the same for 1.0 shortly after.
Using other themes from the default or your own theme will require some tweaking going from RC-1 upwards, but this is only because we are currently pre 1.0 and there are some last minute improvements.
Actually – this is no longer the case for activity tables, they have been changed to global tables, as it is actually faster for selecting friends activity.
However, generally for scaling across servers, multiple tables make it far easier.
No, sorry that isn\’t all that clear. Until the actual tagged official version of WPMU 2.7.1 comes out, you will need to use the branch. After that, you are fine using tagged versions, or the zip download, as long as it is version 2.7.1 or newer.
If you\’re using SVN, then \”svn switch\” makes it pretty easy.
Developers should look at using the groupmeta tables and also check out the hooks page for groups in the codex. Also take a look at some of nicolagreco’s bpdev plugins.
