Updating Master-Slave wikis

As many readers are in no doubt aware, my gun wiki environment is predicated on a master-slave arrangement. A Wiki Technical admin has a master copy of the wiki in which they maintain the various system tiddlers and tiddlywiki scripts. At the same time, a Wiki Content Master has the latest published version of the wiki file in which they maintain the content tiddlers.

So at some stage, we need to update the Wiki Content Master’s version to get them the latest system tiddlers, wiki scripts, etc. This is like the Upgrade facility for Tiddlywiki but using our own master version.

Has anyone done something similar? I can’t see how I can utilise the Tiddlywki Upgrade facility on our own master/slave wikis.

I assume the TW Upgrade facility uses some form a filter to dump out user’s content tiddlers and then reload them into a new copy of the TW master but I can not work out a filter command that does that. I can get individual tiddler types out, like system tiddlers, images, guns etc but am not confident that all are being exported successfully.
