Two ways are officially supported: - building on each machine - making release A consensus on unsupported alternatives would be an oxymoron. OpenBSD binpatch by Gerardo Santana Gomez Garrido http://openbsdbinpatch.sourceforge.net/ may or may not help you. Make sure you understand the Makefile(s) before using it. I do use it at times, and it works for me. Be aware that you probably won't get support from the list. > My next idea is to try building the patched program, touching some > file, and then run "find / -newer somefile | xargs tar -xvzf > woot.tar". That's the basic idea implemented in the above program, except that it's done inside a dedicated fake root, not in /. You neither want /var/log/messages nor woot.tar itself inside woot.tar.
