Annotation of openbsd/update_openbsd/README.TXT, Revision 1.7

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
1.7     ! andrew     17:        cd /dev && ./MAKEDEV all
        !            18:        upgrade /etc.
        !            19:                mergeslave should work
        !            20:                but you should still read through the upgrade faq
1.6       andrew     21:        pkg_add -ui -F update -F updatedepends
1.3       andrew     22:        reboot
                     23:
1.5       andrew     24: The files in the collection are as follows:
1.1       andrew     25:
1.5       andrew     26: install
                     27:         This calls get_sets if there are no sets, then call
                     28:         install_kernel, then, if the version of the kernel we are booted
                     29:         off is the same as the sets, it installs the sets, and if it was
                     30:         an upgrade between versions (there was an etcXX.tgz from the
                     31:         previous version downloaded) install mergeslave, then it will
                     32:         tell you to reboot.
1.1       andrew     33:
                     34: get_sets
                     35:         This downloads the latest kernels and sets from mp3s.hewus.com.
                     36:         It uses installed_sets to only download the kernels and sets
                     37:         that are currently installed on the box you are running it on.
                     38:
                     39: install_kernel
                     40:         Copies the new kernels from the file set above.  Should only be
                     41:         run AFTER running get_sets.  You should reboot after running
                     42:         this
                     43:
                     44: install_sets
                     45:         Extracts the new sets to the correct directories.  Most of them
                     46:         to /, but it extracts etc??.tgz to /tmp.  You should upgrade
                     47:         /etc after you have run this, as well as upgrading packages with
                     48:         pkg_add -ui then reboot.
                     49:
1.2       andrew     50: mergeslave
                     51:         This is a modified version of mergeslave.  You should only use
                     52:         it if upgrading between versions, not -stable upgrades.
                     53:        http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanb/software/OpenBSD-binary-upgrade/
                     54:
1.1       andrew     55: installed_sets
                     56:         This is a helper script that returns a list of the sets that are
                     57:         currently installed on the box you are running it on.
                     58:
1.4       andrew     59: release.sh
                     60:        This is the OpenBSD - Release Building Shell Script
                     61:        from FenderQ.com - Internet Security Solutions
                     62:        http://www.fenderq.com/release.sh
1.1       andrew     63:
1.4       andrew     64:        Slightly modified to make it do what I want.
                     65:
                     66:        I run it like this:
                     67:        $ sudo release.sh clean update system release clean
