Just to say I’ve started working on a script for this.

If anyone has something in the works let me know, otherwise I’ll press on with this.

I plan to start with a script similar to the upgrade to ps3 one but depending on how things go I may wind up with a module or a role even.

The whole upgrade will involve a reboot so I’m thinking may work best as a role.

Jon

PR is here…  
[https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/23420](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/23420)

… although still completely untested (not really viable to test on train journeys which is my main ‘ansble time’ at the moment).

Please run it and find all my bugs.
