[nycbug-talk] openbsd -current

[michael]

I'm trying to track OpenBSD -current.  After rebuilding a few times,
I've gotten it down to a short check list.  Am I doing this the
correct/easiest way?


1. run 'get_upgrade'
	(see below: download bsd.rd and etcXX.tgz and untar, 
	make pkg_list and delete All pkgs)
2. reboot and at boot>bsd.rd
3. choose (U)pgrade
4. at [sets], choose FTP, and at prompts..
5. 'ftp2.usa.openbsd.org','pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/i386 
6. 'Congratulations..', reboot to new kernel
7. mergemaster -r -t /root/upgrade/etc/
8. put back all known packages
	pkg_add `cat /root/upgrade/pkg_list`
	(this breaks when there is an updated pkg version)
9. reboot to fresh current

->cat bin/get_upgrade 
	#!/usr/local/bin/bash

	# Prepare to run (U)pgrade

	# fetch new bsd.rd

	cd /root/upgrade
	mkdir etc
	cd /root/upgrade/etc
	ftp ftp://ftp2.usa.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/i386/etc*.tgz
	tar -xzf etc38.tgz
	
	# make pkg_list and delete ALL
	################################
	pkg_info | awk '{print $1}' > /root/upgrade/pkg_list
	pkg_delete -q /var/db/pkg/*
