You're welcome. Install of 6.4 completed. I'm now pulling in my package sets. Fun!

Great stuff, I've been awaiting it's release rather than put 6.3 on my laptop & upgrade.

Very cool! /etc/installurl is preconfigured so syspatch etc. works out of the box after installation.

Installed & running nicely.

Wasn't that already in 6.3?

No. Previously the file was created only if the installed filesets were obtained via a network mirror. This new functionality was added to src/distrib/miniroot/install.sub in August.

Code:

Let /etc/installurl default to cdn.openbsd.org if it doesn't exist and no
official mirror was used. This way, people doing installs without network
access also get working pkg_add and syspatch experience out of the box.

Idea from tj
ok halex, job (who made it all possible), deraadt

Ah, sorry. I must have done that manually then.

And it is a fantastic release, steady improvements across the board. Although it would have been better if they knew about the X-hole bug to fix and delay a week or so.

Thanks, I should have mentioned its been patched.
Having xenodm launch X was already a fix and so I was never affected.

cynwulf · 10-29-2018, 06:50 AM

No problem - I've used xenodm(1)/xdm(1) for quite a few years as well.

I did get hit by that issue after syspatch #1. Now using xenodm.

Attempted to upgrade last night. What a nightmare. I do not have an installation disc burned this time, so I tried upgrading over the internet. The very slow internet connection was even slower than usual. I left the computer on all night, but only half of the sets had been downloaded!

Hopefully the connection will be a little quicker next time.
