Initially (link to old article back from opsd current) I 
wanted to not look at OpenBSD-current again but I did it again.

All went good this time and I could compile everything except the
ports. I'm still looking to find a good solution to update all
the packages in one run.

## What went wrong the last time

I have no clue. The last time I had problems with the recent snapshot,
when the packages could not get updated properly. This time they updated
just fine. So maybe this was only an issue with that particular snapshot
back then. Maybe, <abbr title="I don't know">IDK</abbr>.

## Fetch the actual sources

The user is member of **wsrc**.

```console
$ cd /usr/src
$ cvs -q up -Pd -A
```

Initially we fetched the source with

```console
$ cd /usr
$ cvs -qd anoncvs@ftp.hostserver.de:/cvs checkout -P src
```

Same with `xenocara` and `ports`.

## create the kernel

```console
$ cd /sys/arch/$(machine)/compile/GENERIC.MP
$ doas make obj
$ doas make config
$ doas make && make install
```

Is this really needed done as root (except install)?
Current kernel gets copied to /obsd and new kernel is /bsd.

Reboot with the new kernel.

## Build base system

```console
$ cd /usr/src
$ doas make obj && doas make build
```

```console
$ doas sysmerge
$ cd /dev && doas ./MAKEDEV all
```

## Build and install Xenocara (X)

```console
$ cd /src/xenocara
doas make bootstrap
doas make obj
doas make build
```

## Reboot
