Annotation of openbsd/update_openbsd/README.TXT, Revision 1.5

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:
1.3       andrew      5: Now, you can just use "install".  If you are moving between versions it
1.5     ! andrew      6: will install the new kernel.  You then need to reboot, and run it again
        !             7: and it will run mergeslave after extracting available sets.  This will
        !             8: mean you are running it on the same version kernel as the available sets
        !             9: and it will install a new kernel (just in case it needs to be updated)
        !            10: and then extract the available sets.
1.3       andrew     11:
                     12: The proper way use these scripts manually would be to do the following:
1.2       andrew     13:        get_sets
                     14:        install_kernel
                     15:        reboot
                     16:        install_sets
                     17:        upgrade /etc.  I still need to test mergeslave to see how that works.
1.3       andrew     18:        reboot
                     19:
1.5     ! andrew     20: The files in the collection are as follows:
1.1       andrew     21:
1.5     ! andrew     22: install
        !            23:         This calls get_sets if there are no sets, then call
        !            24:         install_kernel, then, if the version of the kernel we are booted
        !            25:         off is the same as the sets, it installs the sets, and if it was
        !            26:         an upgrade between versions (there was an etcXX.tgz from the
        !            27:         previous version downloaded) install mergeslave, then it will
        !            28:         tell you to reboot.
1.1       andrew     29:
                     30: get_sets
                     31:         This downloads the latest kernels and sets from mp3s.hewus.com.
                     32:         It uses installed_sets to only download the kernels and sets
                     33:         that are currently installed on the box you are running it on.
                     34:
                     35: install_kernel
                     36:         Copies the new kernels from the file set above.  Should only be
                     37:         run AFTER running get_sets.  You should reboot after running
                     38:         this
                     39:
                     40: install_sets
                     41:         Extracts the new sets to the correct directories.  Most of them
                     42:         to /, but it extracts etc??.tgz to /tmp.  You should upgrade
                     43:         /etc after you have run this, as well as upgrading packages with
                     44:         pkg_add -ui then reboot.
                     45:
1.2       andrew     46: mergeslave
                     47:         This is a modified version of mergeslave.  You should only use
                     48:         it if upgrading between versions, not -stable upgrades.
                     49:        http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanb/software/OpenBSD-binary-upgrade/
                     50:
1.1       andrew     51: installed_sets
                     52:         This is a helper script that returns a list of the sets that are
                     53:         currently installed on the box you are running it on.
                     54:
1.4       andrew     55: release.sh
                     56:        This is the OpenBSD - Release Building Shell Script
                     57:        from FenderQ.com - Internet Security Solutions
                     58:        http://www.fenderq.com/release.sh
1.1       andrew     59:
1.4       andrew     60:        Slightly modified to make it do what I want.
                     61:
                     62:        I run it like this:
                     63:        $ sudo release.sh clean update system release clean
                     64:
