Final comment of the differences between
-release &
-current flavors.
Determining
which flavor of OpenBSD is installed can be found by looking at the output of:
$ sysctl kern.version
For users of
-current, output will be similar to the following
(I compile my own releases, hence the unfamiliar domain name...)::
Code:
$ sysctrl kern.version
kern.version=OpenBSD 5.2-current (GENERIC.MP) #107: Sat Nov 24 23:05:33 CST 2012
webmaster@build.pricklyfish.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC.MP
$
For those who build
-stable,
"-current" (in the highlighted output above...) will be replaced with
"-stable". Those who are running
-release will see
nothing in the
kern.version output which specifies the flavor installed.
