[DragonFlyBSD - Bug #3197] DragonFly upgrades

[bugtracker-admin at leaf.dragonflybsd.org]

Issue #3197 has been updated by tse.

File upgrade added

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 
Upgrading DragonFly BSD

For more information see: 
`man build` `man config` 
/usr/src/README /usr/src/UPDATING 
http://www.dragonflybsd.org/docs/handbook/

It is possible to run this script without root privileges 
Usage: upgrade [configuration] 
Configuration is "X86_64_GENERIC"

Latest releases: 
[1] DragonFly_RELEASE_5_6 
[2] DragonFly_RELEASE_5_4 
[3] DragonFly_RELEASE_5_2 
[4] DragonFly_RELEASE_5_0 
[5] DragonFly_RELEASE_4_8

Select [1-5]: 
------

Note: I thankfully just did some retesting, and 'git fetch --depth=1' made git think HEAD was diverged since it didn't have the history to recognize even a single new commit. I've changed the script to do 'git checkout -B RELEASE origin/RELEASE' which should fix the issue, but I will retest DragonFly 4.8 on Monday, since sometimes those flags are not back-compatible
