sysupgrade is a script to automate NetBSD system upgrades. sysupgrade
|
||
|
|
works by first fetching distribution sets from a specified site or local
|
||
|
|
directory, then by upgrading the system using such distribution sets and
|
||
|
|
later by ensuring that the system configuration is up to date. All the
|
||
|
|
process is controlled by a configuration file, and the defaults should
|
||
|
|
suit the most common NetBSD upgrades.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
sysupgrade can be used to perform upgrades across different system major
|
||
|
|
and/or minor versions, and it can also be used to track a stable or
|
||
|
|
development branch from the CVS repository.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
sysbuild is the perfect companion to sysupgrade in those cases where you
|
||
|
|
want to roll your own binaries: both utilities share a very similar
|
||
|
|
command-line and configuration interface, and the default configuration
|
||
|
|
files provide examples on how to integrate one with the other.
