This is a shell script 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 It supports upgrading to a new version as well as just upgrading to a newer version of the same release. Generally, just run update_openbsd. However, you probably want to create a config file to set the mirror you would like to use (ftp or http) as well. See update_openbsdrc.example If you are moving between versions it will install the new kernel and ask you to reboot. After you reboot, you will need to run it again. If you are installing a release of the same version, it will install the latest kernel, extract available sets, and then run sysmerge or attempt to run mergemaster and finally update installed packages. Also included is a copy of release.sh This is the OpenBSD - Release Building Shell Script from FenderQ.com - Internet Security Solutions http://www.fenderq.com/release.sh Slightly modified to make it do what I want. I run release.sh like this: $ sudo release.sh update full-release $RedRiver: README.TXT,v 1.7 2006/11/29 16:50:03 andrew Exp $
