WT7-Updater
From this point on, you can update your base version of WT using my new tool found here: GitHUB - WeakNetLabs WT7-Updater. When I initially develop a new ISO, I intend to have it tested and simply ran along-side of your current OS either in VMWare or on a USB flash drive, at least until the development is finished, but I got a huge amount of requests via FB/Twitter/Google+/Email/etc for an updater script so I decided it was time to start writing one.
Install
cd /tmp/ && git clone https://github.com/weaknetlabs/wt7-updater
cd wt7-updater
./update-wt7.sh
This tool will:
- install the updater tool into
/usr/local/sbin/ - check the file
/etc/wt-version, if not there create one with "7.0" - check the latest version on my server
- then download any necessary updates after prompting the user
