Speaking of installing - and eventually upgrading - things, I'm puzzled that so many instructions still focus on a slow & clumsy way to do this. I've found it effective for most prebuilt Web packages to:
1. extract into a .new folder
2. copy from live to .new to complete the site "image"
3. mv live .old && mv .new live
4. run db or other upgrade code
Might need to enable/disable maint mode in there, but it makes for less down time than other approaches I usually see that extract into live.
