Hi Folks

I am investigating into an upgrade function for LEAF, I did not grok the
stuff Andrew wrote, so I am looking for easy and easily understandable
ways to get there.

A few questions pop up which I have not been able to find an easy
aproach (probably too lazy)

- How to access the actual running release (or it's release family like
5.x.x (beta n)) The kernel version which can be easily retrieved IMHO is
insufficient)

- How can we identify the latest stable release. A fixed URL might
suffice but it would be easier to use a TXT DNS record for this
information. Unfortunately there appears to be no easy way to retrieve
anything but A records with the current tools on LEAF.

- How to determine compatibility between the running release and the
latest stable release

- Can we identify platform and release independent packages?

I am currently using an internal web site to deliver the packages to my
routers as they typically don't have sufficient storage for the whole
package repository. It would be nice to enhance the files section at
sourceforge to take over this task (at the same time old and obsolete
links could be cleaned up)

Thanks

ET
