Autoupdater
===========
Gluon contains an automatic update system which can be configured in the site configuration.
Building Images
---------------
By default, the autoupdater is disabled (as it is usually not helpful to have unexpected updates
during development), but it can be enabled by setting the variable GLUON_BRANCH when building
to override the default branch set in the set in the site configuration.
A manifest file for the updater can be generated with `make manifest`. A signing script (using
ecdsautils) can by found in the `contrib` directory.
A fully automated nightly build could use the following commands:
::
git pull
(cd site && git pull)
make update
make clean
make -j5 GLUON_BRANCH=experimental
make manifest GLUON_BRANCH=experimental
contrib/sign.sh $SECRETKEY images/sysupgrade/experimental.manifest
cp -r images /where/to/put/this/experimental
mv /where/to/put/this/experimental/experimental.manifest /where/to/put/this/experimental/manifest
Infrastructure
--------------
We suggest to have following directory tree accessible via http:
::
firmware/
stable/
sysupgrade/
factory/
snapshot/
sysupgrade/
factory/
experimental/
sysupgrade/
factory/
The last level is generated by the Gluon build process. Do not forget
to rename the ``<branch>.manifest`` into ``manifest`` inside of the
sysupgrade directories.
The server should be available via IPv6.
Command Line
------------
These commands can be used on a node.

# Update with some probability
