############################################################ ## openbechede - A fast and simple way to install OpenBSD ## packages and their dependencies ## ## $Id: README,v 1.2 2003/02/06 10:36:19 elchango Exp $ ## 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 ;P 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 -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. Where to get openbechede ?
