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 and run mergeslave. You then need to

reboot, and run it again. 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:

get_sets

Line 16

Line 24

It uses installed_sets to only download the kernels and sets

that are currently installed on the box you are running it on.

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.

install_kernel

Copies the new kernels from the file set above. Should only be

run AFTER running get_sets. You should reboot after running

Line 50

currently installed on the box you are running it on.
