Default New patches, but...

I received email notice this morning of four patches for OpenBSD. I logged in to my server and pulled them in using links but two of them are just empty html docs that go to an empty page. This was certainly not the plan, right?

There are valid syspatch(8) files for all four patches. My guess is that the website updates lag the announcement Emails.

Thanks. That certainly would explain it, I just happened to be looking at my mail queue and saw the mails hit. Notification before patches are actually online, isn't that a bit horse before the cart?

I've seen it the other way, too, where the syspatch files have not completed distribution before the announcement. Usually this completes within hours.

All I can say is that like you, I'm just a user. As this forum is unaffiliated with the Project, you'll have to ask the Project about their governance of break/fix announcements and the Project's website. You could start by asking tj@ -- just reply to one of the announcement Emails.

I did that earlier, after a respectful delay. It'll clear up.

thanks!

This was reported to misc@. 002 and 003 where mis-numbered and it has been fixed.

EDIT: I might have misread your last post. Was it you who reported it to misc@? In which case, ignore me, you already know.
