By the way, http://openbsd.org/faq/current.html (former upgrade-minifaq.html) stopped to 3.7. Changes since OPENBSD_3_7 cvs tag (nearly one month ago) aren't covered.
I've read on openbsd-cvs mailing list that there were several flag days since then.
Would installing the snapshot from today require special precautions ?

# 2005/03/29 - Exception handling flag day (i386)
# 2005/03/31 - mmap(2) flag day (vax)
# 2005/04/13 - New user and group: _hostapd
If you feel some have been missed, please either put together a diff, or beat on the developer who didn't keep current.html, uh, current. However, I must say, I was rather happy with how fast those three entries into current.html were made.
As for installing a -current snapshot, no, no special issues. Snapshots should always be internally consistant, they should install and work. Upgrades can be a bit more exciting, that's what current.html is intended to help you with, actually: NOT building your system from an earlier build, but rather, what needs to be done AFTER you install a -current snapshot. If you are worried about building your compiler, don't -- you should just use a snapshot with the new compiler in it.
Nick.

(and maybe other related commit logs) states there was a major libc bump ...
Ok, so I'll give this patch a try this evening, thanks for reassuring me ;)

Henning Brauer talked about his plans for this hackathon, "there is some serious cleanup to do in pf, that Ryan and myself started over the last days in Montreal already. This is a prerequisite for finally letting pf make use of the interface groups stuff I wrote a year ago. Claudio and myself will spend some time in the routing code, cleaning it up and looking for performance bottlenecks (not that we're slow now, but we believe we can do even better). We'll work on bgpd too of course, likely some v6 stuff and changes in the filter language, mainly, the ability to define a filter set and apply it later on multiple times."
"And of course something completely unforseeable will happen," Henning continued, "and it likely will be cool. I have no idea what it will be, but it always has been the case in the past :)"

Is it an option to bridge them and run spanning-tree?
