The only issue with the patch is that it contains a /var/log folder. This 
matters on flash installs as it overwrites the link to /ram/var/log and you 
get a nice surprise with traffic accounting not finding the database as soon 
as you go to the homepage. 

For the Raqcop version I removed /var/log/updates from the patch and added 
the following to the setup script before the section where it uncompresses 
the patch:
mkdir /var/log/updates
chown nobody:nobody /var/log/updates

This solved the issue. Should work whether /var/log is linked or an actual 
folder such as in the case of hard drive installs.

I had to re-link /ram/var/log and backversion my machine to 2.0.4 to try it 
again by doing the normal update via the updates page and it worked fine. I 
don't know how many of my users use flash, I know I swear by flash installs 
and prefer flash raid for some redundancy. 

This was definitely an interesting update during the 2.1.0 devel cycle.
