Imagine this scenario: You have a build server to build binpatches (http://openbsdbinpatch.sourceforge.net/). After you've manually built the patches and tested them for your environment, you copy them to an internal FTP, HTTP, or whatever server. You run a cron job on your servers to poll your build server for new binpatches. You could make the system more elegant by creating a binpatch-3.9-i386-00x.sh file that contains a script to do post patch install tasks (pkill named; named; mkdir -p /var/db/binpatch; date > /var/db/binpatch/00x) or something like that. Just a thought. -ME -- Support OpenBSD: http://www.openbsd.org/orders.html |
