 The proper way use these scripts would be to do the following:  Generally, you just need to run update_openbsd.  However, you probably want to
         get_sets  create a config file to set the mirror you would like to use (ftp or http) as
         install_kernel  well.  See update_openbsdrc.example
         reboot  
         install_sets  
         upgrade /etc.  I still need to test mergeslave to see how that works.  
   
 The files in the collection you should use are as follows:  If you do not set a MIRROR in update_openbsdrc or exported in your environment,
   you will need to have the sets available in another way.  By default it looks
   for them in a "version" directory, for example if you are running OpenBSD 5.4,
   it will look for a 5.5, then a 5.4 directory relative to the current directory.
   You can also set RELEASEDIR to point to the path that contains the sets, again
   either in update_openbsdrc or exported into the current environment.
   
 get_sets  The script will initially download the new sets if you don't have them,
         This downloads the latest kernels and sets from mp3s.hewus.com.  then extract them and install new kernels.
         It uses installed_sets to only download the kernels and sets  
         that are currently installed on the box you are running it on.  
   
 install_kernel  If you are moving between kernels after installing sets and the new kernel and
         Copies the new kernels from the file set above.  Should only be  it will ask you to reboot.  After you reboot, you will need to run
         run AFTER running get_sets.  You should reboot after running  update_openbsd again.
         this  
   
 install_sets  If running with the same boot kernel as the update, often on the second run, it
         Extracts the new sets to the correct directories.  Most of them  will run sysmerge and finally update installed packages.
         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  Also included is a copy of release.sh
         This is a modified version of mergeslave.  You should only use          This is the OpenBSD - Release Building Shell Script

 installed_sets          Slightly modified to make it do what I want.
         This is a helper script that returns a list of the sets that are  
         currently installed on the box you are running it on.  
   
           I run release.sh like this:
