Hello,
I have a basic question about following -current.
I have an OpenBSD 7.5 system. I want to grab the latest snapshot and update my
packages. Is the correct process as follows ?
$ doas sysupgrade -s
$ doas pkg_add -uvi
That seems fine to me.
I am not sure upgrading from the "old" stable to snapshots is supported,
though. It will most likely work. You may want to upgrade to the actual
-stable and then to the snapshot, to make sure.
Also, remember to check https://www.openbsd.org/faq/current.html before
you upgrade to the next snapshot to ensure you are aware of pitfalls.
The OpenBSD FAQ mentions that package updates changes when a snapshot is a
release candidate. In that case is the correct process as follows ?
$ doas sysupgrade -s
$ doas pkg_add -D snap
Thanks for your help,
- J
The last command would rather be "pkg_add -D snap -u" or something
similar. I like to always provide it for -current installs.
