Patch 002 was published yesterday: https://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/...srtp.patch.sig

(I'm manualy applying these, but as it looks like I'm stuck with a custom kernel for this release, I will probably follow -stable).

From the time syspatch(8) was initiated with release 6.1, I stopped building -stable systems for my i386/amd64 servers. I continue to track -stable, as I build -stable packages for them. And of course, I track -stable sources, just in case I need a -stable patch that isn't in errata. But my build servers run -release plus syspatch() patches.

I learn about new errata patches through announce@ and through the -c option of syspatch(), executed in each server's daily.local(5) file.

I stopped following -stable when the base compiler for amd64 switch to LLVM/clang, at that point compiling took too long for me on my outdated hardware. I now have slightly less outdated hardware, though outdated and low performing nonetheless.

I may just track -stable sources, use syspatch(8) and then build my own kernel + athn(4) patches.

Same. My OpenBSD 6.5 systems run -release plus syspatch patches; I enjoy the convenience of syspatch.

Please note this extra step I highlighted from the published announcement:
Code:
Errata patches for the kernel have been released for OpenBSD 6.4 and 6.5.

Intel CPUs have a cross privilege side-channel attack. (MDS)

Binary updates for the amd64 platform are available via the syspatch utility.
Source code patches can be found on the respective errata page:

  https://www.openbsd.org/errata64.html
  https://www.openbsd.org/errata65.html

After patching, run fw_update to get the new CPU microcode, then reboot.
