This is a collection of scripts to make upgrading OpenBSD easier. It
supports upgrading to a new version as well as just upgrading to a newer
version of the same release.
Now, you can just use "install". If you are moving between versions it
will install the new kernel and run mergeslave. You then need to
reboot, and run it again. This will mean you are running it on the same
version kernel as the available sets and it will install a new kernel
(just in case it needs to be updated) and then extract the available sets.
The proper way use these scripts manually would be to do the following:
get_sets
install_kernel
reboot
install_sets
upgrade /etc. I still need to test mergeslave to see how that works.
reboot
The files in the collection you should use are as follows:
get_sets
This downloads the latest kernels and sets from mp3s.hewus.com.
It uses installed_sets to only download the kernels and sets
that are currently installed on the box you are running it on.
install
This calls get_sets if there are no sets, then call install_kernel,
then, if the version of the kernel we are booted off is the same as
the sets, it installs the sets.
install_kernel
Copies the new kernels from the file set above. Should only be
run AFTER running get_sets. You should reboot after running
this
install_sets
Extracts the new sets to the correct directories. Most of them
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
This is a modified version of mergeslave. You should only use
it if upgrading between versions, not -stable upgrades.

installed_sets
This is a helper script that returns a list of the sets that are
currently installed on the box you are running it on.
release.sh
This is the OpenBSD - Release Building Shell Script
from FenderQ.com - Internet Security Solutions

Slightly modified to make it do what I want.
I run it like this:
$ sudo release.sh clean update system release clean
