Being in the midst of a project involving the Midgard team at Neimen  
I thought it would be good to document the experience, as well as the  
things I learn about the functionality, features and quirks of Midgard.

The first nugget that i've learned is that the Datagard command has a  
download feature built in. How did I find out, well all thanks to  
jval's note on the #midgard IRC channel.

jval: rguerra: you use debian binaries? you use openpsa 1.x? if  
you're answer to both of the questions is yes, you can install/ 
upgrade openpsa 1.x by running "datagard download"

rguerra: I'm using Ubuntulinux

Well, i just tried the datagard command with the "download" argument  
- and it works quite nice. It does seem that Midgard now has an  
update/upgrade manager that automatically downloads and imports the  
needed files. This is a nice feature.

The OpenPSA upgrade went well, and i'm tempted to also upgrade MidCOM  
- but am not going to ...I won't even try, until I hear back from the  
Midgard experts on the midgard-users list as well as the ones working  
on the development on the privaterra server.

My upgrade to MidCOM 2.4 - well, gave me all sorts of issues that  
took me hours to solve. So, i'll leave the upgrade to  
MidCOM-2.4.1.tar.bz2 pending , and wait to hear back as to how easy  
(or not) the upgrade will in fact be.
