sysupgrade #51

Hi.

I installed v0.6.1 over stock firmware following your instructions. Works fine.

I used to perform command line "sysupgrade openwrt-***-sysupgrade.bin" for other routers for native builds when I want to upgrade. It handles configs transfer.

You will have new release sooner or later. Is it safe to perform "sysupgrade openwrt-mediatek-mt7622-linksys_e8450-ubi-squashfs-sysupgrade.itb" from "production" environment (not recovery)?

Thanks.

Yes, that's safe to do, you can just sysupgrade with updated builds from here, builds you made yourself or snapshots from downloads.openwrt.org. Really nothing can go wrong as a broken, unbootable or crashing image will result in the device rebooting into the recovery image which came with the installer.
