[DragonFlyBSD - Bug #3197] DragonFly upgrades

[bugtracker-admin at leaf.dragonflybsd.org]

Issue #3197 has been updated by tse.

File upgrade added

4.8 looks good to me. Feel free to re-download and try it out

Notes:
The script uses 'fetch depth=1' which reduces the initial download by ~250MB.  But developers who want full history can do '/usr/upgrade; cd /usr/src; git fetch --unshallow', and sort their own lives out -- so I didn't think it was worth adding to the script as a flag...

If the user aborts the script in the middle of checkout, they may like to just delete /usr/src and try again. So I've added a warning to that effect

I realize this mini-script is unsolicited, and could easily be unwanted for many reasons. That's fine

My thoughts are in the future to maybe look at memory compression / malloc latency / auto configuring wifi. But these really are just thoughts, and not something for this summer

Hiya,

I realize this is quite a simple script, and possibly misses useful features (?). Originally posted to @users, but mailing list line-wraping didn't keep the script fully intact, so copy/paste/test wouldn't of worked

Also, the response on DragonFly Digest encouraged me re-post it here

I've tested it on new installs of 4.8, 5.2, and 5.4, and with installs previously upgraded with `make src-create/src-create-shallow`

It takes this:
------
> cd /usr
> make src-create
> ...
> make buildworld
> make buildkernel
> ...
> make upgrade
------

To this:
------
> /usr/upgrade
