How to upgrade SNAPSHOT packages?

[buggz]

Hello,

How do you upgrade packages in a SNAPSHOT release?
My current device, GL-MT6000, is ONLY available in SNAPSHOT release.

When I do the daily System>Software>Update list, I have available packages that will not install, I get multiple errors, such as, file system is read only, etc...

Current list of packages that are available for upgrade, growing daily:

Read only file system would indicate you've filled all available flash space.

If you want the latest packages, install the latest snapshot.

Snapshot releases have unstable ABI, so your current kernel may (will) not match the kmod-s and other newer packages as they roll through kernel and release version updates.

Like @frollic indicates, the only safe way to update packages on snapshot is to do a full re-install of the new snapshot release (auc or LuCI AttendedSysupgrade are two easy ways, or just download the img and sysupgrade it).
