Upgrades work by first changing the file system (via any of the previous methods), and then using the APM to scan the file system, find upgrade scripts, and execute them. This section describes how to upgrade the file system. Starting with OpenACS 5.0, this section can generally be skipped because the OpenACS APM can directly download new files from the openacs.org repository.
