Does a way to update to new versions of KodachiOS will be made ? #17

I personally use Kodachi on a encrypted persistent installation on my netbook, has I tend to lose my usb keys, and because this netbook is trashable in case I need to ruin it in addition to nuke it. However, I've setup KodachiOS already to be more adapted for my use (Customized Firefox profile, Couple of software removed and installed, reconfiguration of the desktop to be more adapted to smaller screens). And the issue of having to redo that for each version of KodachiOS, either if i had made those configurations on my USB key or on my persistent installation is that i need to reconfigure all of it.

I just wanted to know if such "update" tool would be made next. Either a script that will make the needed modifications to update one KodachiOS version to another , or even, just a manual little "tutorial" showing how to update it ourselves. (Like, in the update logs, something like "updated a new vpn provider OpenVPN profile", and then, having the additional new profiles files to be used to be added manually)

I have thought of doing such script long time ago and I actually implemented it but I never turned it on for security reasons. I was worried that if anyone can get access to the remote script they would add their own stuff and it will spread all over.

I will have to rethink and find a proper way to do it maybe verify via pgp before accepting the update.

Forgot about that detail, That was indeed quite a bad example. x) Outside of that, The Nix package manager does have a way to verify their script installation via pgp, maybe this could be taken as an example : https://nixos.org/nix/download.html
