1.8       andrew      1: This is a shell script to make upgrading OpenBSD easier.  It supports
                      2: upgrading to a new version as well as just upgrading to a newer version of the
                      3: same release.
                      4:
                      5: Generally, just run update_openbsd.  However, you probably want to create a
                      6: config file to set the mirror you would like to use (ftp or http) as well.
                      7: See update_openbsdrc.example
                      8:
                      9: If you are moving between versions it will install the new kernel and ask you
                     10: to reboot.  After you reboot, you will need to run it again.
                     11:
                     12: If you are installing a release of the same version, it will install the
                     13: latest kernel, extract available sets, and then run sysmerge or attempt to run
                     14: mergemaster and finally update installed packages.
