Question Copying OpenBSD Kernel from a non production to production machine

Hi All,

There are few OpenBSD 4.8 servers without compiler installed at my working place. However, sometimes there are some patches released for patching the kernel.

My question is: Can I setup a non production OpenBSD 4.8 server as a test machine with compiler installed and use it to patch the kernel and after the patching was successfull, I will copy the new kernel(with the patch installed) from the non production machine to the production machine?

Is there any impact?

Regards,
Stefan

I guess it is either that or mount the compiler during a maintenance period.
