What I mostly feel unhappy about is the setup script/procedure, e.g. making a working upgrade procedure is hard. There are simply too many things that can go wrong or are tricky to fix. I've been thinking about making a complete re-design of the whole setup script/procedure, but never really got time for it. I would appreciate any ideas anyone might have regarding this, not just about the upgrade part and how to make that "safe", but also about the normal "install from scratch" procedure.
I don't think that's is really needed to have a bullet proof upgrade script. I self can live with the limitation that I have to install CRXU from scratch if I update from version x.a to x+1.a. The handbook says create separated partitions for system and data for later updates...
In any case, starting to update CLC for 2.0 (using 2.0-test1 as the platform) should be fairly safe since I don't plan on making any major incompatible changes before 2.0-final. At the moment it feels like 2.0-final is about two weeks away.
sounds great :-) Best regards, Tilo
