[erlang-questions] release upgrades and code loading

[Ivan Uemlianin]

Dear Mike

Thanks for your help.

Here's a recent relup.  After this upgrade, I had to manually code_load 
and purge app1:

{"1.0.7",
  [{"1.0.6",[],
    [{load_object_code,{app1,"20140213.1",[app1]}},
     {load_object_code,{app2,"20140213.1",[app2]}},
     point_of_no_return,
     {suspend,[app1]},
     {load,{app1,brutal_purge,brutal_purge}},
     {code_change,up,[{app1,[from1to2]}]},
     {resume,[app1]},
     {suspend,[app2]},
     {load,{app2,brutal_purge,brutal_purge}},
     {code_change,up,[{app2,[from1to2]}]},
     {resume,[app2]}]}],
  [{"1.0.6",[],
    [{load_object_code,{app1,"20140211.1",[app1]}},
     {load_object_code,{app2,"20140207.1",[app2]}},
     point_of_no_return,
     {suspend,[app1]},
     {code_change,down,[{app1,[from2to1]}]},
     {load,{app1,brutal_purge,brutal_purge}},
     {resume,[app1]},
     {suspend,[app2]},
     {code_change,down,[{app2,[from2to1]}]},
     {load,{app2,brutal_purge,brutal_purge}},
     {resume,[app2]}]}]}.

Best wishes

Ivan
