upgrading slackware with swaret

Hi all slackers and everyone else.

I've got a box running slackware 9.1 here, that I didn't have time to
upgrade before, but have gotten around to wanting to upgrade it to
slack 10.1 now. I am trying to do this with swaret 1.3.1, which came
as an extra package in slack 9.1. My swaret.conf file is fine, since I
used it last time to upgrade to slackware 9.1. So, I just changed the
slackware version number in there from 9.1, to 10.1, and mounted the
first slackware cd under /cdrom, where swaret expects to find all the
packages, as I've configured it to do.

I run 

swaret --update

, and it compiles all the checksums, file lists, ETC, ETC, ETC, and
everything runs just fine. Then, I do

swaret --up-all -A

, and swaret tells me that all my installed packages are up to date,
which is obviously not the case. So, does anyone know what gives?
Should I first perhaps upgrade swaret using the standard slackware
upgradepkg tool, or is swaret simply not used to upgrade anymore? Any
informative input would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Greg
