How to get latest BOA-2.4.9 if your Aegir Octopus still needs PHP 5.3 ?

gistfile1.txt

If your Aegir Octopus did not receive upgrade to 2.4.8 and 2.4.9, please read
the explanation posted in the changelog for BOA-2.4.8 and 2.4.9:

  @=> Even if deprecated PHP versions are still included in this release,
      any Octopus instance running PHP older than 5.5 will not be able to
      receive upgrade to BOA-2.4.9, as announced before -- Please switch your
      Octopus to PHP 5.6 or at least 5.5 to be able to upgrade not only
      the Barracuda system part of BOA, but also Octopus Satellite --
      The how-to can be found at: https://omega8.cc/node/330

In the changelog for BOA-2.4.7 we wrote:

  @=> This BOA release (2.4.7) is the last release which still supports
      deprecated PHP versions: 5.3 and 5.4 -- You should switch to PHP 5.6
      or at least 5.5 as soon as possible, or you will not be able to upgrade
      to newer BOA versions after 2.4.7 -- https://omega8.cc/node/330

An attempt to upgrade Octopus running PHP older than 5.5 will result with error:

BOA [05:02:12] ==> Skynet Agent v.BOA-2.4.9 welcomes you aboard!
BOA [05:02:15] ==> ERROR: This instance o2 still depends on the old PHP version
BOA [05:02:15] ==> FPM.5.3 CLI.5.3
BOA [05:02:15] ==> It is not possible to upgrade it to BOA-2.4.9
BOA [05:02:15] ==> Please switch FPM and CLI on o2 to PHP 5.5 or newer
BOA [05:02:15] ==> Then please run the octopus upgrade again
BOA [05:02:15] ==> Bye

Note that this requirement is still "soft" -- you can switch the instance
to PHP 5.5 or 5.6 and then back to 5.3 after instance upgrade, if newer PHP
will break some sites which need more time to get them compatible with newer
PHP 5.5 or 5.6

Only when BOA-3.0.0 will be released, it will no longer be possible to switch
to older PHP versions, because they are not supported by Drush 8, which is
included in BOA 3.x

We push BOA users to switch to supported PHP version before it will be
impossible to offer such upgrade/downgrade temporary route.

If you are on a hosted Aegir instance still running PHP older than 5.5 but
you wish to receive BOA-2.4.9 updates, please file a ticket:
