Annotation of openbsd/update_openbsd/README.TXT, Revision 1.2

1.1       andrew      1: This is a collection of scripts to make upgrading OpenBSD easier.  It
                      2: supports upgrading to a new version as well as just upgrading to a newer
                      3: version of the same release.
                      4:
1.2     ! andrew      5: The proper way use these scripts would be to do the following:
        !             6:        get_sets
        !             7:        install_kernel
        !             8:        reboot
        !             9:        install_sets
        !            10:        upgrade /etc.  I still need to test mergeslave to see how that works.
1.1       andrew     11:
                     12: The files in the collection you should use are as follows:
                     13:
                     14: get_sets
                     15:         This downloads the latest kernels and sets from mp3s.hewus.com.
                     16:         It uses installed_sets to only download the kernels and sets
                     17:         that are currently installed on the box you are running it on.
                     18:
                     19: install_kernel
                     20:         Copies the new kernels from the file set above.  Should only be
                     21:         run AFTER running get_sets.  You should reboot after running
                     22:         this
                     23:
                     24: install_sets
                     25:         Extracts the new sets to the correct directories.  Most of them
                     26:         to /, but it extracts etc??.tgz to /tmp.  You should upgrade
                     27:         /etc after you have run this, as well as upgrading packages with
                     28:         pkg_add -ui then reboot.
                     29:
1.2     ! andrew     30: mergeslave
        !            31:         This is a modified version of mergeslave.  You should only use
        !            32:         it if upgrading between versions, not -stable upgrades.
        !            33:        http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanb/software/OpenBSD-binary-upgrade/
        !            34:
1.1       andrew     35: installed_sets
                     36:         This is a helper script that returns a list of the sets that are
                     37:         currently installed on the box you are running it on.
                     38:
