For the archives: release(8) answers my question. It appears to be the most up-to-date building documentation.

Why not just use the snapshots? Even though I haven't created any patches for OpenBSD yet, I like to have the possibility to hack on the system. I have also experienced situations, where I simply thought "Hmm, how do they do that?" and it was nice to just open the source code directly from my hard drive in my favourite editor. I don't run -current on servers or other critical boxes. This is my laptop -- my development box. It's not important to me that it works all the time. > > I would like to try out xenocara > > It's included in the snapshots. > > > should I follow section 5.3 in the FAQ > > (http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq5.html#Bld) and checkout (using cvs) > > the XF4 module or should I checkout the xenocare module? > > Xenocara.

I could not find xenocara source tarball so it took some time. I then built everything (with xenocara) and then a release. All install sets were built. However, my machine does not actually use X so no testing has been done with actual usage of those sources/sets. // juan Get news delivered with the All new Yahoo! Mail.

OpenBSD current: XF4 or xenocara?
I would like to upgrade from a snapshot to current. I know my way around kernel, userland and ports, but I'm a bit confused with regard to XF4 versus xenocara. I would like to try out xenocara -- should I follow section 5.3 in the FAQ (http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq5.html#Bld) and checkout (using cvs) the XF4 module or should I checkout the xenocare module? Feel free to direct me to any information that I might have missed. I have googled, visited www.xenocare.org and read mbalmer's article on Undeadly: http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=2006071016 Martin [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/pgp-signature which had a name of signature.asc]
