I have to update several OpenBSD systems so I find it easiest to make a 4.2-current (patched) distribution. This can also be burned to a cd so new installs or upgrades via cd are also patched.
So, I have just upgraded to 4.2 OpenBSD. I am now going to build a patched distribution, patching the system in the process.
Let’s do it:
sudo su # setenv CVSROOT "anoncvs@anoncvs3.usa.openbsd.org:/cvs" export CVSROOT="anoncvs@anoncvs3.usa.openbsd.org:/cvs" cd /usr mv src src-4.1 # rm -rf src-4.1 & mkdir src cd /usr/src tar xpfz /tmp/src.tar.gz tar xpfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz cd /usr cvs -q up -P -rOPENBSD_4_2 src cd src/sys/arch/i386/conf #use GENERIC for non MP or HT servers /usr/sbin/config GENERIC.MP cd ../compile/GENERIC.MP make clean && make depend && make # if you did not do the 'set image bsd.mp' step above, then just 'make install' rm -f /obsd.mp ln /bsd.mp /obsd.mp cp bsd /nbsd mv /nbsd /bsd.mp sync reboot
Log back in as root after reboot, you should see the kernel now has a name like “OpenBSD 4.2-stable (GENERIC.MP) #0”. The -stable means the eratta patches where applied.
cd /usr/src rm -rf /usr/obj/* cd /usr/src make obj cd /usr/src/etc && env DESTDIR=/ make distrib-dirs cd /usr/src make build # This will take a while reboot
When the build completes, your system is up to date. If you have only 1 machine, you are done. However, I need patched distribution sets for my other boxes:
export DESTDIR=/usr/dest
export RELEASEDIR=/usr/rel
# setenv DESTDIR /usr/dest
# setenv RELEASEDIR /usr/rel
cd /usr/src/distrib/crunch && make obj depend all install
test -d ${DESTDIR} && mv ${DESTDIR} ${DESTDIR}.old && rm -rf ${DESTDIR}.old &
mkdir -p ${DESTDIR} ${RELEASEDIR}
cd /usr/src/etc
make release
cd /usr/src/distrib/sets/
sh checkflist
We now have a release in /usr/rel. I combine this with an official distribution to get the x-windows sets as I am not building them here. Basically, I copy everything except MD5 from /usr/rel into the 4.2/i386 dist dir that has everything from the ftp server except install42.iso. Then I edit the MD5 to include the new checksums.
Now put everthing under a directory structure OpenBSD/4.2/i386. For this example, say it is all in /tmp/OpenBSD/4.2/i386 we can now make the iso cd image:
cd /tmp
mkhybrid -A "OpenBSD-4.2-stable-i386" -P "Me" -V "OpenBSD-4.2-stable-i386" -r -b 4.2/i386/cdbr -c 4.2/i386/boot.catalog -o OpenBSD-4.2-Stable-i386.iso OpenBSDThanks!
