Default 5.8 Issues

Questions regarding the latest release:

1) There are 2 compressed src files:
Quote:
cd-src.tar.gz 13-Oct-2015 19:12 140M

and

src.tar.gz 13-Oct-2015 19:12 121M
The cd-src.tar.gz file is described as a fix for time/date stamps

006: RELEASE CD ISSUE: Oct 18, 2015 All architectures
The "src.tar.gz" file on the source tree was created on the wrong day, and does not match the 5.8 release builds.
A replacement file is available in the 5.8 release directory with the name cd-src.tar.gz; due to size of the file, check local mirrors also.
But the size of cd-src.tar.gz (140M) is significantly larger than src.tar.gz (121M).

I interpret this to mean that purchasers of the CD sets should use cd-src.tar.gz but what about the smaller src.tar.gz on the ftp mirrors?
Anyone have clarification?
2. Patch 007 seems to have dropped the leading "/"

And then rebuild and install libcrypto:
cd src/lib/libcrypto
make obj
make depend
make
make install
Shouldn't it be /usr/src/lib/libcrypto ? Again clarification would be appreciated. I can temporarily work around the first 2 issues by using M:tier's openup utility although my sys/src will not be patched.

3. Already posted in the howto is that mpd in the 5.8 release is broken for streaming internet radio stations (out of bounds error). A fix is being looked into and I will post either the fix or a command line work around to stream internet radio stations.
