Re: Upgrading Buddypress – is it easy?
Yea its pretty easier, as Paul said, just upload the files and replace them. Normally you can leave the templates alone.
However if your going from RC1 to SVN trunk then you need the new templates too. Its like this because this software is still in beta and things change for the better.
But normally with templates you just need to update the functions and header.php files (although don\’t rely on my advice)… just change them all and make sure any mods are made in custom.css and images are in a custom folder 
But when v1 is ready you can update via the admin interface.
As Nicola said always make a backup first, i like to make a duplicate copy of my public_html / www folder.
