Re: 5.7 upgrade question
If you are new to OpenBSD you should probably avoid running -current until you are much more familiar with everything.

You decide, possibly based on wanting a new package due to a feature upgrade such as STARTTLS in spamd or a security update. Do you know that http://stable.mtier.org provide updates for stable (5.7 when it comes out)?

Provided there are no obvious bugs and you're not planning on installing any ports or packages, there's nothing stopping you from doing so - always check "Following -current"[3] beforehand.

No, latest snapshot != 5.7. 5.7 has been built nearly two months ago. Current snapshots are what will eventually become 5.8. > So, can i swap it to 5.7 release package tree after may 1 without > getting troubles? (cuz i dont want to update snapshots offten) Wrong again - ports tree has also been frozen a while back. You'll need to wait until 5.7 appears on a mirror near you. Regards, Raf

5.7 upgrade question
Hi @misc! As i see http://www.openbsd.org/faq/upgrade57.html 5.7 upgrade guide is ready. So if i want to upgrade from my 5.6 release i should use "bsd.rd" from latest snapshot. It means that i need to change my packages path to snapshot one, right? So, can i swap it to 5.7 release package tree after may 1 without getting troubles? (cuz i dont want to update snapshots offten)
