To be clear,
if you have diligently followed the errata page:
http://openbsd.org/errata45.html
...& you have downloaded the source tree
after the date of the last patch & recompiled the portions indicated in the errata,
then you can say that all preceding patches have been applied. What file version is pointed to by the CVS tag OPENBSD_4_5 will change as changes are checked into this branch.
As an example, given that you have recompiled the kernel you have some familiarity with the GENERIC configuration file. If you look at the Web page showing the CVS history for this file:
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvswe...6/conf/GENERIC
You will see that version 1.651
(at the time of this posting...) has both tags OPENBSD_4_5 & OPENBSD_4_5_BASE. The OPENBSD_4_5_BASE tag indicates the file versions of what became OpenBSD 4.5
-release, & after tagging has occurred,
no new files are
ever checked into this branch. If for some reason, a patch for OpenBSD 4.5
-release (or -stable) ever needs to modify GENERIC, it will be checked into the OPENBSD_4_5 branch, & the tag will point to this new version as opposed to 1.651.
Also, because OPENBSD_4_5_BASE & OPENBSD_4_5 both point to the same file version of GENERIC, one can conclude that there have been no changes to the default kernel configuration during the life of OpenBSD 4.5 thus far.
