This was a long standing requests by devs. So if third/something is version 1.2.3 in the repository, and you have src/modules/third/something.c which is version 1.2.4 then neither './unrealircd module upgrade' nor './unrealircd module upgrade third/something' will overwrite the module. It will stay the local 1.2.4 version. A new status inst/LOCAL was added "module installed, local version is newer than available online" The command './unrealircd install third/something' would still (re)install the online version, though, i think that makes sense. When working on this I noticed that './unrealircd module upgrade' previously always recompiled the module, even if it was not updated. This is no longer so.
