OpenBSD 5.9 is out.
Yup!
usally the disks come in the mail before it's out
what?!
it's not 1pril 1st yet
The current release is OpenBSD 5.9, released March 29, 2016.
wow
that's over a month before it should be :)
I was surprised too
(And undeadly confirms that it's early http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20160329181346 )
Title: "OpenBSD 5.9 released (early!)"
the last one was early too
(In case you find yourself wondering if you've just lost track of time, etc)
maybe they're trying to move release months and wanted to do it slowly
i didn't find anything quickly on mailing list
does it have ART?
I doubt it
ditto, nothing found. Maybe it was talked about on ICB
ART is way too new, mar 24 ;)
ahh
14:45 < martian67> so they could being work on the disk midlayer sooner
14:45 < martian67> so they could test it for longer
14:46 < martian67> i beleive
14:46 < martian67> thats very very hairy code
from #openbsd
i tried to see how disk readahead was working
it's bloody insne
insane
and it doesn't seem to work
but it's also in the big lock
hmmm
i can't decide if i should go to 5.9 or -current
It's on -tech.
tech@.
But not showing up in marc.info, for some reason.
mike: ahh, what's the reasoning?
these files are dated feb
Go 5.9 if you want stability, and -current if you want to write kernel/userland/Xenocara/ports code.
i've been doing -current mostly :)
except was being slack
so it wasn't very current
mike-burns: what's on -tech, early release or the ART stuff?
brycec: art is on main list :)
The release announcement was on tech@. ART, too.
If it was a discussion about the early release, I'd be confused and wondering why I don't have those messages.
Me too!
(Last tech@ I have is just over 2 hours ago)
hmm i don't think i'm following tech
i was..
It and ports@ are the good ones. misc@ is fun for when Twitter seems to be filled with too many smart people.
i was following tech, misc, cvs-changes before
whats that cert authority that issues 90 day free SSL certs?
LetsEncrypt
Though I prefer StartCom/StartSSL for my cert needs
brycec: thanks
I use StartSSL but only out of caution (Let's Encrypt is new), which I'm not sure I'd use the word "prefer" for. Why do you prefer them, brycec ?
