maj
Some time ago, I wrote a simple shell script to update OpenBSD machines from sources. It has been greatly improved over time and has now some cool features. maj is useful whereas you run -stable or -current. It can perform:
- Get and update cvs source trees,
- Compile and install kernel, userland and xenocara with useful autodetection,
- Make a release.
For detailed information, read the man page
