tried this before but no one was able to do so .
Can you guide us where you find this million dollar information : )

Hi,
I've did it long ago, haven't written procedure, but it goes something like
this.
1. You've faken IDS by modifying /etc/ids_functions file. Similar file (with
the same name) is inside archive file, and upgrade procedure (shell script)
extract it first, run it, and find that your platform is not supported. So,
you have to fake it there.
2. Now, only way to get there is from root. Once you try to do upgrade
regular way, archive file is saved onto disk, somewhere under ids directory
(/usr/ids/..., or something like that).
3. Somewhere under same ids folder is folder with upgrade procedures. There
is script that will extract setup script from archive, and run it. Setup
script will extract ids_functions, run it, and decide what next.
4. What you'll have to do is modify extracted setup script to not extract
ids_functions file again and again, and then modify already extracted
ids_functions in the same way you've modified /etc/ids_functions (don't copy
old file over new, they are not the same, but have similar code in it).
5. Now you have modified setup and modified ids_functions. Run setup, it
will run already extracted and modified ids_functions, will consider that
your platform is ok, will extract remaining files from archive, and do the
upgrade.
Hope this helps.
