Update mechanism for Raqcop.

 Since I have Raqcop for the Cobalt crowd, I now have my own public gpg key 
in the Raqcop builds as of now and then sign them, this will be in the next 
build be it rc2 or the actual 2.0 release depending on IPCop itself as far 
as the public being able to use it. This means that it will require a clean 
install the first time and then can be upgraded after that with little 
effort so anyone (all three people?) using Raqcop-2.0rc1 will not be able to 
upgrade to rc2 or 2.0 via the web gui. So far I can install after uploading 
via the web gui. I also have the cgi script and the functions perl library 
pointed to an update and a patch folder on my site. 

In the updates folder, just the gpg signed update and the release notes 
exist and in the patches folder, a 1.9.x.xml file exists. Am I missing 
anything? My site does not like any of the methods of retrieving files other 
than using a web browser. It throws an "ERROR 406: Not Acceptable" message. 
I am trying to get Brian Ridgeway to take a look since he hosts it and set 
it up, I have enough priviledges to get where I am so far but it is Brian's 
domain and hosting. Meanwhile I want to know if I have missed anything. It 
would appear that IPCop looks for three files in two directories.

I'm doing this since Raqcop has enough differences, biosless and headless, 
requiring a different kernel package and uses no bootloader on mbr, the rom 
with it's own kernel starts the Raqcop kernel which is really a stage II 
kernel in this setting. I thought it should have a mechanism where nobody 
can easily put one of my updates on a PC version of IPCop and vice versa and 
not muck up their system.

Any thoughts on what I am doing with updates?
