nasty notes:

1.4 upgrade procedure

First, lock the wiki with the appropriate lock file
For each wiki in the group, in /home/wikipedia/common/php-1.4/maintenance, run the appropriate:
php update.php xxwiki
Once the databases have been adjusted, fix the files.
- If it was on the old docroot on NFS:
  - go to /h/w/common/docroot and cp -pr skel to the appropriate subdir
  - link in the uploads dir (is this necessary?) and any other customizations
  - sync-common-all
  - change the appropriate apache .conf file and restart the apaches
- else:
  - link /home/wikipedia/common/php-1.4/skins into the appropriate docroot.
  - replace the 'w' symlink with a link to /home/wikipedia/common/live-1.4

In theory, things should now work. Maybe :D

Note: there's some funkyness with language settings at the moment. Need to look into this. zhengzhu has since fixed this iirc
