jart made a quick tutorial in https://github.com/Mozilla-Ocho/llamafile/issues/24 to do something similar. Alerted about this script, she suggested to add it to llamafile repo. Suggested to place into build directory. Suggest to use llamafile-convert as inspiration on coding style and approach. (Preference to be compatible with almquist (posix) shell).
Written a bash script in https://briankhuu.com/blog/2024/04/06/inplace-upgrading-of-llamafiles-engine-bash-script/ to help upgrade in place older llamafiles with newer llamafile engines. We may want to port and adapt this into something more robust for common usage in llamafile repo.
