I like OpenBSD for it's easiness, straight forwardness and simpleness on daily usage. Unfortunately with the last releases, I find keeping OpenBSD up2date between releases to be confusing. Please help me on this one:
Well... I have been quite happy using cvsup to keep my src and ports up2date, but it seems that this is getting quite impossible to use lately, as the servers I normally use to pull from seem to block cvsup. )-: Then I read that cvsync seem to be the way to go... although I can't get it to work proberly. I follow http://www.openbsd.org/cvsync.html and I am able to pull a repository (size 5.2G) Then I am going to pull the patch branch (well using cvsup, I normally go for current), and I do: # cd /usr # cvs -d/cvs checkout -P src It works... I am getting what looks to be update source files. I find the changes of http://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/5.4/common/002_sshgcm.patch in monitor_wrap.c Then I going to compile from source (system is i386) by doing: # cd /usr/src/sys/arch/i386/conf # config GENERIC # cd ../compile/GENERIC # make clean && make # make install Well... it looks to be going fine... not noticing any errors at least, and I can find the new kernel /bsd. But... Rebooting... and the system ends in limbo-mode. I have to boot doing "b /obsd" I can't figure out where the process goes wrong. Anyone? Regards, Lars.
