OpenBSD 4.5-beta announced
4.5-beta was "announced" in CVS logs last night, and the announcement was published this morning in the OpenBSD Journal: http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=artic...&mode=expanded
For those who may not know, the "-beta" flavor of OpenBSD is -current which has all of the functionality of the upcoming -release. 4.5-release is expected on or before May 1. Its purpose is to have a robust testing (and patching) period prior to the final -release lock down. An OpenBSD user on 4.4-release/4.4-stable who wishes to participate in testing may "upgrade" to 4.5-beta using a snapshot, followed by careful use of sysmerge(8) along with a review of the following -current FAQ. Continued testing with new snapshots will go on for 4 to 6 weeks. At the end of the beta period, the user may elect to stay with -current, or, may "upgrade" from 4.5-beta to 4.5-release/stable on May 1. If the user moves on to 4.5-current at the end of the -beta period (when -release is tagged), they should note they'll stay on -current unless they reinstall, as an "upgrade backwards" to 4.5-release is not supported.

The new SNMP daemon was simply committed to make it easier to work on, it isn't even linked to the build yet, so unfortunately.. sendmail remains for now.

Fwiw, ext2fs support has been removed from bsd.rd (some moons ago).
This means: - you cannot install|upgrade from the *.tgz you would have saved on a ext2fs USB stick or HD partition. - if you upgrade and fstab contains an ext2fs mount, the upgrade will exit with a fatal error as the ext2fs now is unknown.

I'm now running 4.5-beta:
Code:
# dmesg | head -1 OpenBSD 4.5-beta (GENERIC) #1684: Sun Feb 15 15:26:02 MST 2009 Almost everything works nicely on my laptop, but there is one problem: Code:
# dmesg | grep apm apm0 at bios0: Power Management spec V1.2 apm0: AC on, battery charge unknown |

ACPM and APM work almost perfectly on my ThinkPad A20p. The only problem I noticed is that it hangs if you try to power of by typing Code:
shutdown -hp now In all tree cases battery monitor works perfectly. I rarely or never use hibernation mode so I really can not tell you if it works from the top of my head. Last edited by Oko; 20th February 2009 at 05:13 AM. |

I like how WPA and the key are configured via ifconfig, by the way. Very simple and elegant. |

Having suffered through the older method, I agree with you, ifconfig is the right place for it. |

As has been indicated previously on this forum, apm(4) gets first dibs at attaching under most circumstances.
You can disable apm(4) and use acpi(4) instead: boot> boot -c UKC> disable apm UKC> quit Fortunately when you switch to ACPI it generously provides APM emulation so user-land applications can still use the /dev/{apm,apmctl} interface. This means those ports should work as intended, as will apm(8), but you won't see the apm(4) verbiage in the dmesg(1) output. Hope that helps. |

Note; the instructions above aren't permanent.. you can use the config(8) utility to make them so.
I would going to leave this as an exercise, but that seemed counterproductive. $ sudo config -ef /bsd ..output. ukc> quit Good luck. |
