well, I decided to answer your initial question, not your re-post. Seems 
as if its really urgent for you.

First of all great to hear you've read about RAUC. Thus I won't 
disappoint you. Yes, of course there is RAUC support planned for 
PTXdist, too. And we already have patches for this. The main reason why 
they are not in PTXdist mainline, yet, is that we still have some points 
where we are not sure how to map this to a recipe in a way that is both 
flexible and easy to use, for example concerning certificate handling.

But to help you and others and to gather ideas from other users it is 
now time to post the current state of work for rauc support in PTXdist.

I'll send the patches to the mailing list right after this mail. If you 
use them, it would be great if you could share your experience about the 
integration and maybe add some hints if something could be done better.

Best regards, Enrico
