Curious, I'd like to ask what may be a dumb question. But better safe than sorry. Just rechecking what I might have forgotten :)

Do errata and syspatch only apply to -release, or do they also apply to -stable & -current???

@v6shell Only -release! The changes will already be in -stable and -current, which you either need to build from source, or in the case of -current, install a new snapshot.

Never run syspatch(8) on -stable or -current.

Follow

@v6shell For example, before the latest errata for 6.4/6.5 came out (as a patch & syspatch), it was first committed to -current and then later backported to the -stable CVS tags.

Commit to -current: marc.info/?l=openbsd-cvs&m=156

Separate commits to -stable, a day layer:

marc.info/?l=openbsd-cvs&m=156
marc.info/?l=openbsd-cvs&m=156
