Update multisite installations
Hello,
I must confess I am a bit puzzled with version 4.6.1 and its multisite features (if existing).
Actually I am running a whole bunch of txp installations that need to be updated from 4.5.x to 4.6.1. But the zip file of txt 4.6.1 does not contain a sites folder and the file structure is slightly different (concerning the admin themes, and what the hell is the folder “vendors”?). Before getting into problems I would like to ask if there is an updated tutorial anywhere, and if someone can point me to some aspects that might be important.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Update multisite installations
The sites folder is only in the .tar.gz version of the download (available here) – I think it’s because the standard zip file doesn’t support symlinks, which are required for multisite installs (can someone confirm this?).
The upgrade documentation is here, although it probably needs to be updated to reflect the above, if confirmed.
And yes, some of the directory structure has changed in 4.6 due to modernisation of the codebase.

Confirmed… ish. It might be possible if we add flags to the package script. Will investigate, unless someone overrides me and supplies a reason why symlinks were omitted in the first place.
