supports upgrading to a new version as well as just upgrading to a newer

version of the same release.

The proper way use these scripts would be to do the following:

Now, you can just use "install". If you are moving between versions it

will install the new kernel. You then need to reboot, and run it again

and it will run mergeslave after extracting available sets. This will

mean you are running it on the same version kernel as the available sets

and it will install a new kernel (just in case it needs to be updated)

and then extract the available sets.

The proper way use these scripts manually would be to do the following:

get_sets

install_kernel

reboot

install_sets

upgrade /etc. I still need to test mergeslave to see how that works.

reboot

The files in the collection you should use are as follows:

The files in the collection are as follows:

install

This calls get_sets if there are no sets, then call

install_kernel, then, if the version of the kernel we are booted

off is the same as the sets, it installs the sets, and if it was

an upgrade between versions (there was an etcXX.tgz from the

previous version downloaded) install mergeslave, then it will

tell you to reboot.

get_sets

This downloads the latest kernels and sets from mp3s.hewus.com.

It uses installed_sets to only download the kernels and sets

Line 36

Line 52

This is a helper script that returns a list of the sets that are

currently installed on the box you are running it on.

Slightly modified to make it do what I want.

I run it like this:

$ sudo release.sh clean update system release clean
