Hi list, the OpenBSD upgrade pages carry a warning at the top "Note: Upgrades are only supported from one release to the release immediately following it. Do not skip releases."
What's the reason for this warning? I've had a look at the upgrade steps and the only thing that seems to assume a certain system configuration is the update of the configuration files using the patches. This shouldn't be a problem when using sysmerge though, should it? To be clear, I'm not intending to start a flame war about OpenBSD upgrade processes, I was just wondering why releases shouldn't be skipped. I'm looking to upgrade a machine running 4.6 to 5.0 and would obviously prefer to do this in one step instead of four. Thanks, Lars
