[arm-allstar] Allstar Update

[Doug Crompton]

Alan,

 Assuming you are using the hamvoip.org V1.5 code updates are performed
from the Admin menu. This is the menu you get when you login to your system
using ssh (putty, winscp) or a monitor and keyboard. Item 1 on the menu
checks for updates and performs them if they exist. This process is also
done at the start of setup when installing a new systems. It is NOT
automatic and requires a user to actually periodically perform then update
at the menu. There have been 75+ updates since the release of V1.5 in
January 2017. Updates are from the hamvoip repository and have greatly
improved the 1.5 codebase. You won't find you have to recompile something
after you do an update. The repository not only includes Allstar code but
the entire array of ArchLinux packages and the kernel so the entire process
is tightly controlled giving the users peace of mind that everything works.
Users can download any additional packages from the hamvoip repository
using the pacman commands.
