Hi,

I would like to have the basic attended sysupgrade features in the 
default images for the next major release.

I am not very familiar with the feature and what is needed.

I think LuCI should inform the user when a new major release is 
available. There should be a button in LuCI which will tell ASU to 
create an image and then install it using sysupgrade.

We should also have this feature on the command line, at least that you 
can ask a tool if an upgrade is available and then tell it to upgrade 
including all packages.

Maybe we should restrict this to large flash devices.

Do we have to install luci-app-attendedsysupgrade and owut for this or 
is it possible with less?

Should we add luci-app-attendedsysupgrade as a dependency to 
luci/collections/luci/Makefile ?

Should we move utils/attendedsysupgrade-common from the package feed to 
the main repository?

Should we also move utils/owut from the package feed to the main 
repository and add it as a default dependency to DEFAULT_PACKAGES.

Is this all needed or does this feature also work with less new packages?
