I am just starting to upgrade all my obsd boxes to 3.8. I have a copy
of the official CDs -- I know the the ISOs are copyright but is there a
way of burning an updated set so I don't have to patch each system
individually?
Alternately, with the kernel I'm guessing I can replace /bsd (and
/bsd.rd) using the little shuffle recommended in the upgrade docs.
Which perl files need replacing?
How do others who manage several boxes apply patches like the recent ones?
One possible way is to set up a -stable build box, and make release(8)s
... so it's just a matter of copying kernels and untarring the relevant
install sets on the various boxes similar to how it is outlined on the
faq/upgradeXY.html pages. Updating /etc is not necessary in this
scenario, so it's really simple.
