* register a new animal with the same details
* copy your existing config file to $new_animal.conf
* edit the file and change the animal name and secret, the config_opts
as above, and remove TestUpgrade form the modules setting
* change branches_to_build to [qw(
            REL9_2_STABLE REL9_3_STABLE REL9_4_STABLE
            REL9_5_STABLE REL9_6_STABLE)]
* you should probably unset CCACHEDIR in both config files
* test with ./run_branches --test --config $newanimal.conf --run-all
