Hi
With OpenBSD 4.5 shipping on May 1, 2004 I was wondering how you guys are handling portupgrading from release to release.
FreeBSD has an portupgrade script (a thing I think is missing in OpenBSD) so have you made some scripts of you own to handle this. If so can we see them?
Regards

There's no script per se in FreeBSD, if you want to upgrade your ports for OpenBSD you'll need to install the portupgrade package just like you do in FreeBSD.
If you are referring to upgrading the actual base OS, then portupgrade isn't the tool to use.

Is portupgrade in OpenBSD ports tree? NO

There were a couple of scripts someone posted on deadly.org a while back a quick search there for upgrading should produce them. Otherwise it's a cvsup with the ports tag and recompile to upgrade them.

cvsup is easy but it is the recompiling of ALL the different aps form ports that is a pain.
Portupgrade in FreeBSD is nice, something I'm missing in OpenBSD

hm..
i once tried openbechede, but i didn't like it..
to keep my system up to date, i run cvsup (syncing src, XF4 and ports) and i wrote some little scripts to simplify the upgrading process.
if somebody is interested, i could publish them :)

the upgrade_ports.sh requires the myports port. you can download it here:

i hope you can read the comments in the scripts (if not, i'll try explain it to you).
the scripts are not professional, please provide c&c
have fun :D
