Hi,

I would like to know if someone still needs upobsd or if it is
removable ?

sysupgrade(8) in base mostly cover upobsd usage, and for uncovered
usage (creating unattented installation) I am not using it at all.

Currently, upstream is a bit unmaintained: some commits are still
unreleased (as using rdsetroot(8) from base), and I have untested
changes for unattented installation (but as I don't have usage of
it...)

Ah, and bitbucket removed the repository because it was mercurial
based (so HOMEPAGE and MASTER_SITES are dead too). But I could move it
to github if it makes sense to keep it.

I assume the following diff + some 'cvs rm' should be enough to
properly move it to Attic ?

Quirks reason 3 is 'no longer maintained upstream', but 4 ('superseded
by base component') could be possible too (even if not 100% right), or
6 ('no longer useful').

Comments or OK ?
