The diff to remove upobsd could be withdraw, I received enough messages (via ports@ or privately) to show it makes sense to keep it. I will reinstanciate the repository on github and update the port.

I don't reinstall that often, as I usually I stick to a provider for long time, but that's how I've used upobsd in the past. > If you still want to remove it, can you send me the latest sources? > I'll sort it out next time I need it. > -- Regards, Mikolaj

Of course for the (U)pgrade part, people should indeed use sysupgrade. I use the install part because some providers don't provide a pleasant-to-use console. Since I never use the default partitioning, I just craft a special bsd.rd with upobsd, put in /bsd, and reboot. If you still want to remove it, can you send me the latest sources? I'll sort it out next time I need it. Cheers, Daniel
remove sysutils/upobsd
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Quirks reason 3 is 'no longer maintained upstream', but 4 ('superseded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 ?
