Hello,
I am upgrading an OpenBSD 7.0 firewall to OpenBSD 7.1. The firewall
only has two packages: vim and Bind 9.16.
Before performing the upgrade on the actual hardware, I created a
duplicate in VMware. The upgrade of the test VM via: sysupgrade works,
as expected. I then performed a package update:
$ doas pkg_add -uvi
Again, everything upgrades successfully, with my upgraded Bind version
being 9.16.30, but the post install package notes for Bind caught my
eye. When I originally installed Bind 9.16 on the firewall, I went with
the GeoIP flavor. As a result, the post-package upgrade install notes
that I may want to do the following:
$ rm /var/db/GeoIP/*
...however, I noticed that the one file in this directory:
GeoLite2-Country.mmdb, was upgraded during the install (based on the
filesystem date and time). When the post-package upgrade notes state
that I should consider deleting this, aren't I then deleting a file that
was part of the upgrade ?
As a side note - pre-OpenBSD 7.1 + package upgrade, I did not store any
Maxmind databases in: /var/db/GeoIP. I had not yet utilized the GeoIP
functionality.
Thanks,
