I'm being a little proactive and requesting how to upgrade to a new beta release when it comes out. Is that even a possibility? Also, are you going to upload a remastersys iso of the project? Thanks for the awesome work you are doing.

I'm hoping to have the final release of DrupalPro by early next week. As far as upgrading, I don't think there will be anything automated... from swithing from one image to the new. But I've considered a couple strategies.

In the case of moving from existing beta to final

I had been working on a bash script to packup and migrate all the sites (assuming you were going to switch to the new image). However, I think this will likely be key: #1708418: Add Drush commands: quickstart-archive (qa) and quickstart-restore (qr) -- at least for now.

If anyone wants to take it to the final step of adding a flag (or the like) to backup everything (and the inverse, to restore everything) ... I'm sure a lot of us would be grateful.

In the case of continuing on the existing setup, but bringing in changes

I've already written the basis for an upgrade script. That will handle things like fixing symlinks in drush, and maybe adding some new addons. However, it's unlikely to bring in all the changes (such as changing from MySQL to MariaDB).

I think that answers questions, so I'm closing. but if anyone wants to add to this, feel free to reopen as needed.
