Migration instructions are here: https://wiki.synchro.net/faq:misc#migration
Upgrade instructions are here: https://wiki.synchro.net/install:dev

 > I've compiled and built the synchronet v3.21 on my target system.
 > I've got all the directories and links setup.
 >
 > I just don't really understand what copy from the source to the target.

 >
 > I've attempted to copy the following:
 >
 > ./ctrl
 > ./data
 > ./extra
 > ./fido
 > ./mods
 >
 > then run the upgrade_to_v320 script, which seems wrong because my build is

'update.js' runs the approrate upgrade* scripts and binaries as and when needed.
