Oj, glad it all worked out. :)

I think your script could be useful (it can just run sorcery upgrade), since 
getting and setting up the chroot is probably the biggest deterrent for 
others 
to join in the testing. You could maybe also reuse some of the functions in 
cauldron, since it has to deal with chroots too.
