>Revisions are normally released to fix security vulnerabilities
and are distinguished by an increase in the third number. For example,
when 2.16.2 was released, it was a revision to 2.16.1.
</P
><P
>Point releases are normally released when the Bugzilla team feels
that there has been a significant amount of progress made between the
last point release and the current time. These are often proceeded by a
stabilization period and release candidates, however the use of
development versions or release candidates is beyond the scope of this
document. Point releases can be distinguished by an increase in the
second number, or minor version. For example, 2.16.2 is a newer point
release than 2.14.5.
</P
><P
>The examples in this section are written as if you were updating
to version 2.16.2. The procedures are the same regardless if you are
updating to a new point release or a new revision. However, the chance
of running into trouble increases when upgrading to a new point release,
escpecially if you've made local changes.
</P
><P
>These examples also assume that your Bugzilla installation is at
<TT
CLASS="filename"
>/var/www/html/bugzilla</TT
>. If that is not the case,
simply substitute the proper paths where appropriate.

since version 2.12 has been primed for using CVS. This does, however,
require that you are able to access cvs-mirror.mozilla.org on port
2401.

>The Bugzilla team will normally make a patch file available for
revisions to go from the most recent revision to the new one. You could
also read the release notes and grab the patches attached to the
mentioned bug, but it is safer to use the released patch file as
sometimes patches get changed before they get checked in.
It is also theoretically possible to
scour the fixed bug list and pick and choose which patches to apply
from a point release, but this is not recommended either as what you'll
end up with is a hodge podge Bugzilla that isn't really any version.
This would also make it more difficult to upgrade in the future.
