you look at
https://github.com/squeak-smalltalk/squeak-ci/blob/master/update-image.st
you'll see the script squeak-ci uses to update the image. Most of that file
is nonsense like doing sensible things when you're offline, or handling the
vagaries of changed protocols in MCMcmUpdater and various other things. And
dumping out enormous amounts of debugging information.
