Upgrade
Do not use apt to upgrade. Upgrading got easier with BOA 2. See UPGRADE.txt for full details.
# Download and run BOA Meta Installer. wget -q -U iCab http://files.aegir.cc/BOA.sh.txt bash BOA.sh.txt
Will honour settings in; /root/.barracuda.cnf /root/.o1.octopus.cnf /root/.o2.octopus.cnf
this is now old?!:

Certain configs can be heldback on upgrade. Upgrading CFS config can lose ports.
Caching
- Redis is an open source, advanced key-value store. It is often referred to as a data structure server since keys can contain strings, hashes, lists, sets and sorted sets.
New system uses only Redis cache and the same configuration for all Drupal 6 and Drupal 7 platforms. This new system doesn't require any extra module to be enabled in any site. Complete integration is already enabled by default for every platform/site installed by default and for every custom platform as before - the next day after first site on the custom platform has been created. You can disable this caching layer using the same modules/cache/NO.txt control file as before. While there is just one cache engine (Redis) used, there is also an automatic, instant failover to standard database caching, just in case Redis is not available for some reason. You can also disable Redis cache on the fly for debugging by adding ?noredis=1 to any URL.
Development
Alias a dev.* site domain to bypass JS compression and CSS aggregation.
