Snapshots Named as 3.5

Contributed by jose on from the next-release dept.

Xenotrope writes: "I checked my local mirror of the i386 snapshot, and it looked like the packages are now tagged as being 3.5 instead of 3.4. Custom upgrade scripts that have "34" hardcoded will need to be fixed. rsync can be used to avoid this: "rsync -qPtzr --delete $RSYNC_SERVER/snapshots/i386 ~ftp/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/""
UPDATE: The original submission said "tagged", but this caused confusion between the names and the CVS tags, which are still at 3.4 (or HEAD).

    The cvs repository has no 3.5 tags yet.

        You haven't read your Cederqvist - well, you're
        not alone with that.

        Hint: a CVS tag is not something a native English
        speaker might understand as "tag".

        I'd refer to foo35.tgz as "name".

    This happens every release cycle.
    release -> current -> beta -> release

    So we are at 3.5-beta testing state.

    I've been using -current for the last few months for hardware support reasons, and it's pretty stable and usable.

    Anybody who's feeling adventurous and would like a peek at what the development versions look like should give these snapshots a go - I've got no nasty surprises from them.

      Yes, we are running two -snapshot (GENERIC#104) acting as HA firewall with PF state synchronization + CARP on 12 interfaces without any issue (except the lack of documentation of ifstated.conf ;-). It's more stable than our previous proprietary solution (called Checkpoint on Nokia).
