shall i replace all the files [ except the language ] and run the nukesql.php?

have there been any modification in the language file?

just running the nukesql.php will allow me to update existing nuke6.5 site to bnc latest snapshot?

Try this out... run a mysqldump on your current db:

mysqldump -u $dbuname --password=$dbpass $dname -d > structure.sql

Next run a diff:

diff structure.sql nuke.sql

Use the nuke.sql from the bundle.

What are the changes?

I admit that we should have imported 6.5 as a base and then created an upgrade path to our current version. But, thanks for being a good sport. Smile

Nukesql is only for the database, it doesn't do the filesystem.
