FWIW: i made the transition in my setups by downloading and compiling the new 
2.8.6.1 sources... i suspect that it is much easier in other environments due to 
the pre-compiled binary downloads that are available...

FWIW2: i don't think it will help with your problem of pulled pork not being 
able to download the MD5 file but stranger things have been seen... especially 
if the MD5 is/was not available where your pulled pork may have been looking for 
it... this may also be hampered if SF/VRT's time limited download stuff is 
blocking the MD5 after the rules have been pulled down... i've seen times where 
one download is allowed and then it is at least 15 minutes before another is 
allowed... that indicates that the rules pull may happen "now" and then you have 
to wait 15 minutes before you can pull the MD5 file...

this theory is what i have found in my testing of my apps' and their update 
functions... i've tried to relate these concerns to SF/VRT but something seems 
to be lost in translation at times... oh well... i can only do what i can to 
pass this info on to others :?
