This is a good point and it argues that sysupgrade ought to be a part of the system, not pkgsrc. Each of us old hands has our own way of doing this, and of explaining it to newbies. There are only two tricky bits to 'sysupgrade auto': The configuration file specifies where to get what version (you have to fix that before you start) and then near the end, the merging of local changes into /etc/. If sysupgrade was included in each release it could default to the "natural" next release, and auto should be the default. -- Ted Spradley <[email protected]>
