[Owncloud] updater.php error: Access to undeclared static property: OC::$APPSROOT

[Victor Dubiniuk]

Hi Günter,

I spent some time writing README. It is available in the app directory and
on the github https://github.com/owncloud/apps/tree/master/updater
In short:
- If it is not possible to create a valid backup of the files the upgrade
process won't proceed;
- Database connection detail are stored inside *config.php*. It is not
deleted on upgrade;
- All the files of the previous instance are stored inside your backup.;
- Many 3rdparty apps won't work with the new version  anyway since they
have maximal core version they are compatible with. So there is no reason
to leave them, moreover it may cause various issues right after upgrade;
- There are good chances not to have 3rd party apps compatible with X.Y.Z
in the same day X.Y.Z is released;
- I have a full-time job and family and I spend evenings upgrading
different versions of numerous ownCloud instances in order to make the
upgrade process smooth enough.

Please accept my apologies for all the inconveniences you had.
