syspatch is a utility to fetch, verify,
install and revert
OpenBSD binary patches.
When run without any options,
syspatch will
apply
all missing patches, creating a rollback
tarball containing the files it is about to replace, then extracting and
installing all files contained in the syspatch tarball. Patches are cumulative
and as such it is not possible to install only a subset of them.
The options are as follows:
-
-
-c- List available patches; suitable for
cron(8).
-
-
-l- List installed patches.
-
-
-R- Revert all patches.
-
-
-r- Revert the most recently installed patch.
- /etc/installurl
- OpenBSD mirror top-level URL for fetching
patches.
- /var/syspatch/*
- Directories containing the rollback tarball and original signed
diff(1) of
installed patches.
