version kernel as the available sets and it will install a new kernel |
|
(just in case it needs to be updated) and then extract the available sets. |
|
|
|
The proper way use these scripts manually would be to do the following: |
If you are moving between versions it will install the new kernel and ask you |
get_sets |
to reboot. After you reboot, you will need to run it again. |
install_kernel |
|
reboot |
|
install_sets |
|
upgrade /etc. I still need to test mergeslave to see how that works. |
|
reboot |
|
|
|
|
If you are installing a release of the same version, it will install the |
|
latest kernel, extract available sets, and then run sysmerge or attempt to run |
|
mergemaster and finally update installed packages. |
|
|
The files in the collection you should use are as follows: |
Also included is a copy of release.sh |
|
|
get_sets |
|
This downloads the latest kernels and sets from mp3s.hewus.com. |
|
It uses installed_sets to only download the kernels and sets |
|
that are currently installed on the box you are running it on. |
|
|
|
install |
|
This calls get_sets if there are no sets, then call install_kernel, |
|
then, if the version of the kernel we are booted off is the same as |
|
the sets, it installs the sets. |
|
|
|
install_kernel |
|
Copies the new kernels from the file set above. Should only be |
|
run AFTER running get_sets. You should reboot after running |
|
this |
|
|
|
install_sets |
|
Extracts the new sets to the correct directories. Most of them |
|
to /, but it extracts etc??.tgz to /tmp. You should upgrade |
|
/etc after you have run this, as well as upgrading packages with |
|
pkg_add -ui then reboot. |
|
|
|
mergeslave |
|
This is a modified version of mergeslave. You should only use |
|
it if upgrading between versions, not -stable upgrades. |

|
|
|
installed_sets |
|
This is a helper script that returns a list of the sets that are |
|
currently installed on the box you are running it on. |
