RTFM, I'm just making people aware of recent stuff that's fully documented.

So this is for people wanting to install release only?

HEADS up: how to cope with pre-release testing with pkg_add(1)

2017-03-31 Thread Marc Espie 
Just so that the subject makes it clear.  This info already made it in
various messages ont the mailing list.

Right now, if you install OpenBSD, it says 6.1 without beta.
So pkg_add will look for the release directory, and not find it yet
because it's not out yet.

pkg_add -Dsnap

will make pkg_add  bypass its usual heuristics and locate packages in the
snapshots directory, where they will live until the release is done.
