See http://man.openbsd.org/syspatch 2017-03-25 9:49 GMT+01:00 Andreas Thulin <[email protected]>: > Hi all! > > I'm running 6.0 -stable using openup for patching. I think it works very > well since it's so convenient. At the same time I realise there are trust > and security concerns with people like myself, who "blindly" install > patches without understanding the details. I suppose my problem is that I'm > not a developer and cannot make a fair assessment just by reading code, so > neither patch method would be secure for me. I'm the risk, so to speak. > > Anyway, to my question(s): Is openup considered good or bad practise, and > for what reasons, as you see them? Has there ever been plans among OpenBSD > developers to make following -stable easier for "users" such as myself? > > I failed to find enough info about this topic in the archives, but please > point me in the right direction if you happen to know about applicable > threads. > > Humbly, > Andreas > -- Cordialement, Coues Ludovic +336 148 743 42
