+I used this for a while, is very bloated and with it's own database
+(running mariadb in the “background”) it is very functional. Lets you
+do nearly everything and filter all kind of stuff.
+
+but it is very complex and sometimes hard to use if you're not doing this
+every day.
+
+For me it is just too junky, bloated with functions that I mostly not even use.
+also it sometimes breakes and I'm fed up with the linux-ish way of tinkering and
+fixing things to get it working again. mostly the db is causing trouble.

 Building Xenocara took on my laptop (see above) <mark>around 1.5 hours</mark>.
 
 ## Reboot
 
+Once we built our new system, we want to boot into it.
+
+## Upgrading the ports
+
+I do have a packagelist of the manually installed packages in my home folder. That looks
+something like this:
+
+```
+ImageMagick--
+abook--
+adb--
+adwaita-icon-theme--
+aircrack-ng--
+alacritty--
+anacron--
+appstream-glib--
+[...]
+```
+
+This is of no help to me, so I modified it a bit with sed:
+
+```console
+$ sed s/--// packagelist.txt > localports
+```
+
+That removes only the two minuses at the end.
+
+Now I `cd` into `/usr/ports` and I'm looking if the
+resulting category/package name fits the ports directory
+structure.
+
+```console
+$ for i in `cat ~/localports`; do echo */$i; done | tee localports
+```
+
+Run the command without the `| tee ...` part to see if any errors occur.
+
+If the for loop finishes without errors, we can add the `tee` part and
+write the new localports file into `/usr/ports`.
+
+The final file should look like this:
+
+```
+graphics/ImageMagick
+mail/abook
+devel/adb
+security/aircrack-ng
+x11/alacritty
+sysutils/anacron
+devel/appstream-glib
+```
+
+Notice, there is already the package `adwaita-icon-theme` misssing
+because there is no such port in the ports tree.
+
+Within `/usr/ports`, we run `dpb`:
+
+```console
+$ doas /usr/ports/infrastructure/bin/dpb -P localports
+```
+
+That's it. The screen gets filled with all the ports that
+are updated at once/in parallel.
+
+## Creating a release
+
+There are a few steps needed to create your own installation media.
+
+First of all, we setup some space that we can mount with
+`noperm` options.
+
+I use an external <abbr title="solid state disk">SSD</abbr>
+which I mount into `/build`.
+
+```console
+$ doas mount -o noperm /dev/sd2a /build
+```
+
+Set the owner of this directory to build and chmod the directory
+with 0700. Read along in [release]\(8).
+
+[release]: https://man.openbsd.org/release
+
+I use four directories: `dest`, `release`, `xdest` and `xrelease`.
+
+`dist` and `xdest` will be used to build the system, while
+`release` will hold the tarballs and the final installation media files
+when in `xrelease` the Xenocara release files will land.
+
+{{< alert >}}
+Have a look at the **manpage**, permissions and owners are quite important
+for these tasks!
+{{< /alert >}}
+
+### It is the base system that we create first
+
+```console
+$ export DESTDIR=/build/dest RELEASEDIR=/build/release
+$ cd /usr/src/etc && doas make release
+$ cd /usr/src/distrib/sets && doas sh checkflist
+$ unset RELEASEDIR DESTDIR
+```
+
+### We continue with building the X release files
+
+```console
+$ export DESTDIR=/build/xdest RELEASEDIR=/build/xrelease
+$ doas make release
+$ doas make checkdist
+$ unset RELEASEDIR DESTDIR
+```
+
+### Creating the installation media files
+
+```console
+$ export RELDIR=/build/release RELXDIR=/build/xrelease
+$ cd /usr/src/distrib/$(machine)/iso && doas make
+$ doas make install
+```
+
+You'll find your `install73.{img,iso}` files in `$RELDIR`.
