Re: 3.9 Release Available
Some minor things I noticed, the following is still at 3.8 http://www.openbsd.org/pkg-stable.html http://www.openbsd.org/errata38.html should link to a http://www.openbsd.org/pkg-stable38.html, rather than the above. As an example in pkg-stable.html the package clamav-0.88.1.tgz only exists for 3.7, 3.8 and current. 3.9 only has clamav-0.88.tgz available. There appears to be an issue here also with the CVS ports tree, as clamav has been updated to 0.88.1 for 3.7, 3.8 stable and current is now at 0.88.2, while 3.9 stable has been left at version 0.88. gnupg also appears to have been left behind at version 1.4.2.1 for 3.9 in CVS while 3.8 moved on to 1.4.2.2 and current is at 1.4.3. Both these are in the ports/security CVS tree. Regards Nigel Bob Beck wrote: May 1, 2006. We are pleased to announce the official release of OpenBSD 3.9.

I live in Sweden (9 meg citizens and 500k dogs) and I only have _one_ place to buy from and they have no announce about them yet. Somewhere in the end of may maybe...:-( OK, I have installed over internet, but I want to read the thrilling story also and decorate the appartment with stickers. /Regs from Sweden Why not just order from Wim on the official webpage? Just as easy and couldn't be much difference in price/postage and then you would have gotten them weeks ago.
