upgrade to -stable

["Gëzim" Hoxha <hgezim@yahoo.com>]

Hello everyone,

Sometime ago I made some notes (for myself) on how to
upgrade to -stable from
http://www.openbsd.org/stable.html , they are as
follows:

#Getting the patch branch from anoncvs
export CVSROOT=anoncvs@anoncvs.usa.openbsd.org:/cvs
or setenv CVSROOT anoncvs@anoncvs.usa.openbsd.org:/cvs
cd /usr; cvs checkout -P -rOPENBSD_3_3 src

#REBUILDING THE KERNEL
cd /usr/src/sys/arch/i386/conf
/usr/sbin/config GENERIC
cd /usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC
make clean && make depend && make

#REBOOTING WITH THE NEW KERNEL
cd /usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC
cp /bsd /bsd.old  #save an old copy of your kernel
cp bsd /bsd       #copy the new kernel info place
reboot

#REBUILDING THE BINARIES
cd /usr/src
rm -r /usr/obj/*
make obj && make build

I find this process loonnnggg. My question today is
that do I have to do every step everytime I upgrade to
-stable, or are some of the steps just to be done one
time?

Thanks you,
Gëzim
