+
+ Upgrade a Baserock system which is already deployed:
+ - as a KVM/LibVirt, OpenStack or vbox-ssh virtual machine;
+ - on a Jetson board.
+
+ Copies a binary delta over to the target system and arranges for it
+ to be bootable.
+
+ The recommended way to use this extension is by calling `morph upgrade`.
+ Using `morph deploy --upgrade` is deprecated.
+
+ The upgrade will fail if:
+ - no VM is deployed and running at `location`;
+ - the target system is not a Baserock system;
+ - the target's filesystem and its layout are not compatible with that
+ created by `morph deploy`."
+
+ See also the 'Upgrading a Baserock installation' section of the 'Using
+ Baserock` page at wiki.baserock.org
+ http://wiki.baserock.org/devel-with/#index8h2
+
+ Parameters:
+
+ * location: the 'user@hostname' string that will be used by ssh and rsync.
+ 'user' will always be `root` and `hostname` the hostname or address of
+ the system being upgraded.
+
+ * VERSION_LABEL=label - **(MANDATORY)** should contain only alpha-numeric
+ characters and the '-' (hyphen) character.
+
+ * AUTOSTART=<VALUE>` - boolean. If it is set, the VM will be started when
+ it has been deployed.
+
+ (See `morph help deploy` for details of how to pass parameters to write
+ extensions)
