Read the comments at the bottom of that blog post.
Note that copying your packages library and updating only works for minor
version upgrades... there is no shortcut for a 2.x to 3.x upgrade. That is not
your biggest problem though, since not all packages seem to make the jump
(become unavailable) during major version changes so some scripts may have to be
rewritten to use different approaches anyway.
