Typically when I do an upgrade, it's done in a fresh instance so as not to interfere with working systems (and to leave the older version available for ongoing maintenance). >Presumably the /csoft/xxx symlink is just for end-user convenience in the >same fashion as I was considering /foo/opkg/prod -> 1.x ? Exactly. It's something that's easy to add to /etc/profile.local or similar files to set the user's environment without necessarily knowing the type of system.
