   I know how open source works. The typical mentality is "you're on your own".   
      
   The least they could do is package their distributions properly.

   That is the job of the current maintainer.   
      
    RM> Well no.   
    RM> The vast majority of users were using Golded already.   
    RM> So they just exchange the new binaries.   
    RM> Most of them have set it up already for many years.   
      
   If the current GoldED+ maintainers had any pride in their work, then they   
   would write upgrade installers.
