I had a friend update his machine to -stable for OpenBSD here are the scripts he came up with. The one note he had is the cvs checkouts are a hit or miss event and you have to check to see if they completed or not. This example is for building -current on OpenBSD 4.1.
First part. If empty, you must populate /usr/src/ with src before trying a cvs update. Get the OpenBSD src.
cd /usr/src
wget ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.1/src.tar.gz
untar it in /usr/src/
tar xvzf src.tar.gz
Make sure the cvs value below matches your distribution. For OpenBSD 4.1 it is OPENBSD_4_.
#!/bin/csh cd /usr/src/ setenv CVS_CLIENT_PORT -1 setenv CVSROOT [email protected]:/cvs cvs -d $CVSROOT up -rOPENBSD_4_1 -Pd logger "patch_1_sync_cvs_source `date`"
You need to make sure the CVS download completes. CVS lacks any logic to restart or resume a failed download, so you need to verify before building the kernel (patch_2) or any binaries (patch_3). Cvs needs some type of rsync.
Second part. These lines will build the new kernel, then put it in place while backing up the old kernel.
#!/bin/csh cd /usr/src/sys/arch/i386/conf /usr/sbin/config GENERIC cd /usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC make clean && make depend && make cp /bsd /bsd.old cp bsd /bsd logger "patch_2_build_kernel `date`"
Make sure everything went ok and reboot!
Third part. This script will build all new binaries. After this step is done you may want to check if any new packages are available for your install. (pkg_add -un)
#!/bin/csh cd /usr/src rm -r /usr/obj/* make obj && make build logger "patch_3_build_binaries `date`"
Make sure everything went ok and reboot!
