When I Google "openbsd announce@ mailing list" I get https://www.openbsd.org/mail.html. Is this the page ? |
|

Wow. Had you also clicked on the Mailing Lists link on the Project's main web page, you would have gotten to the same page.
The page lists all of the mailing lists, including announce, which has a purpose described as "Announcement and security advisories." The page also describes how to subscribe, either via sending an Email message or via a Web interface. |

I believe the word you're looking for is troublemaker.
Also, it's is a developer. My account is active. |

I did mean 2018, as I intended to write the EOL date for 6.2, but I see the confusion.
6.2 will be released in a week or so, supported until a year after its release, which will be sometime in the middle of October 2018. |

(Gentle readers, ibara was instrumental in improving my meager porting skills. They're still pretty meager, but they were much worse when he started providing me with some guidance.) |

You're too kind. But on that note, look out for another porting workshop class at NYC*BUG that I'm running (/shameless self promotion, which is getting to be dangerously close to the point where I'll need to spin that off into a new topic).

syspatch applies errata to the base system.
pkg_add -u (-Uu would be redundant) updates packages. Again, OpenBSD has a seperation between the base tools maintained by the OpenBSD team and the 3rd party packages provided by the ports team. And I chose the words 'maintained' and 'provided' deliberately. |

Snapshot packages are available for the convenience of -current users. They are not synchronized with snapshots, as snapshots can be produced far more frequently. It is up to the -current user to manage any synchronization issues which may arise from using snapshot packages. For high performance architectures such as amd64, this may only require waiting and retrying after either the OS or packages are updated. For users of slower platforms with less frequent updates or that do not have snapshot packages, this may require manually building select ports. Quote:
FYI, 6.2 was released today. As discussed previously, you may consider reinstalling, using the release and its synchronized packages. Last edited by jggimi; 9th October 2017 at 03:16 PM. Reason: PKG_PATH reference added |
