SPMS and syspatch allow efficient application of OpenBSD patches to multiple hosts. These tools are valuable for managing and maintaining OpenBSD systems.
If you're searching for a way to apply OpenBSD patches to multiple hosts without the need for a compiler or the src hierarchy, look no further than SPMS and syspatch. Designed with system administrators in mind, these tools are perfect for teams who want to save time on repetitive tasks while maintaining control over their various OpenBSD boxes.
One of the most useful features of SPMS and syspatch is the ability to revert patches in case of trouble. This ensures that you can experiment with different patch configurations and easily roll back changes if necessary. However, it's important to note that these tools don't mask the OpenBSD patching process entirely – you will still need to build errata on a buildhost and understand the patches in order to use these tools effectively.
Thanks to the latest release, using SPMS and syspatch is more streamlined than ever. The release includes new SPMS::* Perl modules to make the codebase more maintainable and easier to develop by multiple people. Additionally, there is now POD documentation for SPMS modules, as well as improvements to /var/db/spms/index.db initialization and better control over untar operations.
Overall, SPMS and syspatch are invaluable tools for any OpenBSD administrator who needs to manage multiple hosts quickly and efficiently. By simplifying the patching process and providing more control over applied patches, these tools are sure to save you time and frustration.
