defaultenv-2: how to update a flash partition?

Hi all,

I want to use the defaultenv-2 but i don't find any more the "update"
command
like in the defaultenv.
What is the recommended way to update a flash partition in the new
environment?

Best regards

erase /dev/env0
cp /mnt/tftp/your-new-env /dev/env0

(I was thinking about adding a -e parameter to cp to eventually skip the
first step)

It seems a nice addition for me.

There is some plane in the future to add a "update" command, like in
"defaultenv"?

Thanks for the help and the great work with barebox, i like it very much.

I'll look into it.

I have no plans doing so. Basically not because I do not want such a
command, but because I do not know what such should do. The old command
took parameters like 'mmc' or 'net' which was hard to dispatch into
the different files and does not work with multiple mmc cards, so I
thought doing it completely on file level would be enough (with the
above additions added, maybe).
