How can I update the code and the database using CVS?

<para>
Make a backup of both your Bugzilla directory and the
database. For the Bugzilla directory this is as easy as
doing
<command>
cp -rp bugzilla bugzilla.bak
</command>
.
For the database, there's a number of options - see the
MySQL docs and pick the one that fits you best (the easiest
is to just make a physical copy of the database on the disk,
but you have to have the database server shut down to do
that without risking dataloss).

Make the Bugzilla directory your current directory.

Use
<command>
cvs -q update -AdP
</command>
if you want to
update to the tip or
<command>
cvs -q update -dP -rTAGNAME
</command>
if you want a specific version (in that case you'll have to
replace TAGNAME with a CVS tag name such as BUGZILLA-2_16_5).
</para>
<para>
If you've made no local changes, this should be very clean.
If you have made local changes, then watch the cvs output
for C results. If you get any lines that start with a C
it means there were conflicts between your local changes
and what's in CVS. You'll need to fix those manually before
continuing.
</para>
</listitem>

After resolving any conflicts that the cvs update operation
generated, running
<command>
./checksetup.pl
</command>
will
take care of updating the database for you as well as any
other changes required for the new version to operate.
</para>
<warning>
<para>
Once you run checksetup.pl, the only way to go back is
to restore the database backups. You can't "downgrade"
the system cleanly under most circumstances.
