Revision 1.1, Fri Jun 30 20:01:17 2006 UTC (17 years, 10 months ago) by andrew
Branch: MAIN

Make a readme so mike and dave can use it.

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supports upgrading to a new version as well as just upgrading to a newer
version of the same release.

Eventually I will steal and modify mergeslave to make updating /etc easier.

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_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.

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.
