Description Dave Stewart 2013-04-11 21:21:54 UTC

This should be marked Medium+ (P2) for the 1.5 release

In another bug (3429) we are implementing the Fenrus (Nitra) updater. We also need some use for the code.

The suggestion here is that we integrate it with our development process. Something like when you are deploying to QEMU or a device that you have the option to deploy using the updater.

YP is evaluating different software updater to integrate into the project. 

YP updater must be an atomic image based update that provides essential patches/features to embedded systems. It must have high reliability characteristics and tolerance to failures.

The updaters investigation has given some data and a discussion is happening to decide whether this updater will be enabled for YP.

Comment 3 Mariano Lopez 2015-06-19 16:47:46 UTC

This updater was discarded because it's currently in heavy development and is not stable enough.

A new bug will be opened if this updater is considered again in the future.
