I do not think that the process of creating update/upgrade packages is
documented publicly yet.  This service uses specifically built files
for this purpose, it does not use a later ISO build.

These daily builds are getting patches and code for features that are not ready for production nor fully tested until the next release cycle. We are basically fixing bugs being introduced as part of the normal development process.

As I understand the process, updates to the internal package repo need
to be loaded onto the controller, then those updates can be schedules
out to the various nodes.  It is the creation of those updates that I
think we are missing here.  I am not aware of a documented way to take
a later ISO and apply that directly to achieve the same result.

I would love to be wrong about that...
