It is charming how anti-climactic such upgrades tend to be. Also, the art and music for 6.9 are delightful.

- bangonkeyboard 6y agosysupgrade has needed me to force a manual hardware reboot at the end each time I've used it. We'll see how it goes tomorrow.
- nix23 6y agoYes, it's called a patched kernel.
- bangonkeyboard 6y agoNo, upgrading OpenBSD manually prior to sysupgrade never required me to physically hold the power button on the machine.
- nix23 6y agoI bet you did not made a bug-report right?
- ninjin 6y agoGoodness me, thank you for pointing this out. The songs are back as of 6.8 and I thought they finally kicked the bucket after 6.2. Below is a link for the 6.9 release song, it is – as you say – really nice: https://www.openbsd.org/lyrics.html#69 https://www.openbsd.org/lyrics.html#69
- protomyth 6y agoYeah, the most time consuming thing for me is if a PostreSQL upgrade is required on the machine. Other than that, sysupgrade, package upgrades, and a quick reboot seem to be the norm.
- throwawayboise 6y agoFrom the 6.9 upgrade guide: There was a major update to PostgreSQL 13.1. Use pg_upgrade as described in the postgresql-server pkg-readme or do a dump/restore. https://www.openbsd.org/faq/upgrade69.html https://www.openbsd.org/faq/upgrade69.html
