Well.. date's output is Mon Jan 6 17:05:03 ART 2003. I finished the first
public release of openbechede. This project started some months ago, when I
-joking- said to a friend in a dull evening: what if we code something like
apt for OpenBSD ? he laughed. We were very lazy by that time. Later, I
realised I wasn't joking at all ;) and when arrived home, started to work on
it. It was obviously much easier than making a package system like apt.
At the early stages of development it hasn't any error-control routines, was
full of bugs, but in some way it worked and we started to use it. The test box
was MAFIA's (the friend i talked above). I think it was running OBSD 3.1.
Yesterday, I felt like modifying openbechede, adding new features to it,
etc. So I took my computer, a lot of patience and I began working taking
some breaks till now.
With openbechede you can fetch the lists of packages according to your OBSD
version, search for packages, install them (and automatically the
dependencies they require), and I think the best of all, you can
automatically upgrade your system's packages. A simple cron job could run
openbechede, and you would be sure that you have your packages up to date.
Besides, it is able to update your system to -current or install base
packages from -stable, install ports, and keeping them up to date.
Also, it reflects its activity in a log file (/var/log/openbechede.log by
default).
I hope it can be useful to maintain your OBSD boxes |
