Upgrading to OpenBSD 6.6

Released on October 17, 2019, there is the new version of OpenBSD. Time to try to upgrade with the all new sysupgrade tool. Should be breeze, right?

On the console I typed:

$ doas syspatch
$ doas sysupgrade

In case the sysupgrade tool is not yet on your 6.5 installation, you install it with syspatch. After that you upgrade to 6.6, easy as pie!

There already a few patches out for 6.6 so make sure to patch your current install right away:

$ doas syspatch

Last thing to do is to update your packages:

$ doas pkg_add -u

And your done….
