I've been using the latest nightly builds (not currently set up for SVN),
currently running 03/09/08. On both my test site and my main which is using
the latest 2.5, the upgrade fails with the following:
Downloading update from http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/akismet.zip
Unpacking the update
Incompatible archive
This has been going on over the last several nightly builds no matter which
plugin upgrade I tested. I actually haven't had a successful upgrade yet.
Just as a note, the OneClick plugin works with no problem in WP 2.5 if that
helps any.

Subject: [wp-testers] Testers wanted: Plugin update testing
Hi all Testers,
Wordpress 2.5 is due to be released sometime soon(When ever its ready i
believe - But thats another threads discussion).
But so far theres been very little bug reports flowing in for the plugin
updater, So, I ask of you, The Testers, To grab the latest SVN copy of
WordPress, install an old plugin (One thats available on WordPress.org)
and hit the "updgrade automatically" link on the plugins page.
An alternative to downloading a older version of the plugin, is to simply
change the version header of a existing plugin, For testing, i've mainly
been using akismet:
(after changing)
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Akismet
Version: 2.1.0
Author: Matt Mullenweg
Author URI: http://photomatt.net/
*/
Do the upgrade proceedure and it should click click over pretty smoothly
to update it
If anyone has a problem while attempting an upgrade, Please post back with
the messages shown on the upgrade page. (I'll then follow up with a plugin
i have which should help pin-point the problem)
Note:
How the upgrade proceedure works:
+ WordPress notices theres a new plugin version available, displays links
on plugin page
+ User clicks upgrade link
+ WordPress asks for FTP details to connect to the local account to
perform the upgrade (Note: At present, FTP is FORCED to be used for beta
testing)
+ WordPress connects via ftp
+ WordPress attempts to locate the WordPress folder
+ WordPress downloads the latest .zip
+ WordPRess extracts the files from the .zip to a temporary directory
+ WordPress deletes the old plugin files
+ WordPress copies the new files into their place
+ WordPress deletes its temporary files, And upgrade complete
It could fail at any one of those steps, And given the number of failure
points, I'm supprised theres only been 2 reports of it not working
correctly (Both since fixed up)
I also stress, WordPress trunk is still pre-beta stage, It is not designed
to work in production environments right now, While i use it on a live
site without any problems, I cant guarantee you wont have trouble, Try
running it on a test install first, then it everythings running allright,
only then decide to try it on your live setup :)
Cheers,
DD32
