how upgradin without losing info

I installed many versions already of bootgpe2.
latest i installed bootgpe2-0.7.2+unstable2-h3900.jffs2, but since i
took some time updating with ipkg many various modules, setting user and
wlan, i realized a new package beacame avaibale (unstable3)

i presume many more are to come, but is there a way to install all these
packages without having to reinstall everything ? (i may copy all etc
somewhere, but i am sure some params in there change as well) i presume
the new one fixes the button and wome wlan issues

could u indicate me where most changes takes place ? (is that the
kernel? the gpe ?)

Also how is this package built ? how could we reconstruct it ouselves ?
i took all sources from cvs and compiled it successfully but do i have
to manually install all resulting output files to my current distribution

thanks in advance for the clarifications

PS: good work guys !
