Upgrading in Drupal is typically as simple as typing "drush up." Drush handles reversible upgrades, backups, just about everything you would want someone to do while upgrading their site. Below is a list of reasons why this feature makes sense. If the Commerce Guys team doesn't deem this a high priority, perhaps we can get someone from the community to take a shot at it.

  • This is a community requested feature that won't go away.
  • drush is a Drupal standard and not supporting an upgrade like this smells "fishy"
  • Kickstart 2 is a shining example of what distributions can do, but we don't support drush?
  • Doing a quick issue queue search on drush turns up a lot of incompatibilities

Drush doesn't currently support updating installations. There's nothing Commerce Kickstart specific about the problem, and I don't see us having resources to help on that in the next few months.

Leaving the issue open for now.

I thought Drush did support this if you head over to the issue queue at: http://drupal.org/node/820954 and read: http://drupal.org/node/820954#comment-6025360

We were using an in place update similar to how panopoly did it using an in place building process: http://drupal.org/node/1717546

However it wasn't following standard Drupal packaging standards so they switched as did we. Though I think Drush would still build in place?

I can pitch in US$100.
Maybe if others pitch in, we can crowdfund/reward the effort/time of those who tackle this issue.

OK -- finally had an upgrade notice for my local kickstart 2 site so I could test a couple of the methods.

This should just work(tm):

$ drush dl commerce_kickstart
$ drush updatedb -y

It worked for me when upgrading from commerce_kickstart 2.6 to 2.8 flawlessly.

NOTE: I was using Drush 6.x

EDIT ...

Thought I would also mention just running the following:

drush up

on a Kickstart 2 site failed because "The commerce_kickstart directory could not be found within the modules directory at [error] /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/ck2/profiles/commerce_kickstart, perhaps the project is enabled but has been deleted from disk."
