I followed instructions here: http://drupal.org/node/219527

So I replaced the Zen folder and left my subtheme folder completely untouched. Now Drupal does not recognize the update and still says "6.x-1.0-beta2". I am probably overlooking something very simple but hints appreciated!

TIA,
Gerben

Ok I copied the last bit of the beta3 starterkit.info file into my subtheme.info file and all ok.

But is this all there is to an update? No files in the subtheme folder that need to be modified?

Best,
Gerben

Hi Gerben
I've just done this upgrade and also asked myself the same question.
Particularly if, for example, the CSS has being tweaked etc. I don't see how those improvements will be reflected in the sub-theme unless you go through and change the sub-theme CSS bit by bit.
But I am on the lower slopes of the Zen/Drupal learning curve and may be missing something.

It would be helpful if the changes to the zen theme could be documented (including line numbers) so we could apply them to our subtheme files as well. I've got a highly modified subtheme and, while I could just use a utility to filter out the changes between the starterkit files and my theme, how will I be able to tell which changes are from the new version and which are mine?

I actually think that the need to add the information added to the drupal.org packing... if unnecessary and add more confusing than serve any purpose IMHO. If a subtheme was properly created, any new changes introduced to the base theme should either improve the subtheme or simply be overwritten. Am I missing something?
