 I wrote the following script to ease the process of updating and building an OpenBSD/Zaurus system from source. In order to have an up to date installation you'll need to answer two yes/no questions and press ENTER twice. If you'd like to give it a try you can download it from here: Openbsdupdate Script Save Script As: openbsdupdate Last Updated: 03 DEC 2007 Version: 0.3.1 <Added newaliases requirement> NOTE 1: You might have to chmod +x openbsdupdate as "root" after downloading the script. To execute the script just ./openbsdupdate as "root" The script must be ran as "root" and requires "root's" shell to be the default ksh. If you haven't changed "roots" shell then you should be fine. I also suggest running this script outside of X. I'll continue to add a few other features ( like auto-patching a few of iamsmiths patches ) to the script over time. If you find any bugs please let me know and I'll have them fixed ASAP. NOTE 2: Don't ignore this message! ******************************************************************************** After the Zaurus reboots login as 'root' to continue the build process Press ENTER to reboot! ******************************************************************************** Don't login as user "joeblow" and then su into "root." You must login as "root" to continue the build process after rebooting. (However, see NOTE 4 for those using NFS mount points.) NOTE 3: It can take up to ten minutes for source syncing to begin. NOTE 4: If your ports/src/xenocara sources are on NFS mounts then ensure they are mounted before running this script. Also, they must be remounted before logging in as "root" after the initial reboot. I suggest removing "noauto" from your /etc/fstab NFS mount points before running this script and adding it back after the update is complete. Otherwise, you'll need to login as any "non-root" user, su into "root", mount the NFS exports, logout, and relogin as "root". |

That's very cool. It will save a lot of trouble of manually fiddling with the source (although I am not really into building the whole system from source (yet)).

I'd also suggest reading the FAQ I wrote on how to use an NFS server to build/upgrade ports and packages. This will reduce wear and tear on your Zaurus internal hard drive. |
