I was originally referring to pkgsrc/sysutils/sysupgrade which jmmv@ made over a year ago... http://blog.netbsd.org/tnf/entry/introducing_sysbuild_and_sysupgrade And now I learned about Julian Fagir's sysupdate GSoC (not present in pkgsrc). http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-userlevel/2013/10/02/msg007956.html I don't have any opinion regarding the two tools, but I do think that NetBSD has been lacking this type of tool to simplify upgrades/updates so any NetBSD user (especially the newcomers) can do it with a simple "one-liner". So as long as any of sysupgrade/sysupdate gets included in NetBSD's distribution (before next major release of NetBSD is released), I'm happy with that. And kudos to both jmmv@ and jdf@ for their work on making NetBSD upgrades/updates much simpler. Re, /P PS. There are also older sysupdate scripts made by others. I think Hubertf's old blog post has most of them linked: http://www.feyrer.de/NetBSD/bx/blosxom.cgi/nb_20100104_0228.html DS.
