Contributed by jose on from the upgrade-assistance dept.
"I've been recently working on a project. Its name is openbechede. Its aim is to install and remove OpenBSD packages with their dependencies, update the packages, checking new versions available on your ftp or a mirror, and update your system to the latest snapshot on the server. At the moment, the last version is: 0.7.1I had a quick look over this before posting. It looks like a useful attempt at helping manage the upgrade process for all of the dependencies on a system. Coupled to something like mergemaster, this could be useful for a lot of people. Worth checking out and even contributing to.I've submitted it to freshmeat. URL: freshmeat.net/projects/openbechede
Hope it can be useful to make our OpenBSD experience even better :)
Regards,
Leandro Chango"

Anybody tried it yet?
Snapshot system upgrade... Does it just write over existing /etc files? Does it launch mergemaster?
Did you use some of NBSD pkgchk code (or similar) or write from scratch?
Tx.

there is also pkg_search on freshmeat (but less advanced, not apt-like): mainly easy install from net

why not expand it to include update of other things like ports, system and kernel source, etc? might be a good next step to make it an all includive upgrade tool. maybe collaborate with the guy who makes tepatche and make sure your programs interoperate well.
