I'm running -current on a test host for the first time.
I've read FAQ 5, following current, and I watch source-changes.
So far so good. Then I noticed a whole lot of recent changes to src.
1. Are there any rules of thumb or guidelines to follow as far as how
often I should keep -current, current?
2. Has anyone attempted to automate updating and rebuilding? Or is
this a terribly bad idea for almost obvious reasons?
ad 1)
On my workstation, I'm syncing src and ports once or twice a week if
there is no special reason (e.g. importang fixes mentioned on
http://www.openbsd.org/plus43.html) and build it once a week or so.
As far as I can remember, this has been discussed a couple of times
here. Just check the archives, e.g. at http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc.
ad 2)
I've put togther a few very simple shell scripts, that do the job. But
they are not doing more than a bit of logging and return code checking.
Just to save a bit of typing, lazy as I'm. I can send them offlist if
you like.
