OpenBSD KDE Status Report
|
|
OpenBSD has managed to drop KDE3 and KDE4 in the 6.8 -> 6.9 release cycle. That makes me very happy because it was a big piece of work and long discussions. This of course brings questions: Kde Plasma 5 package missing. After half a year of work, I managed to successfully update the Qt5 stack to the last LTS version 5.15.2. On the whole, the most work was updating QtWebengine.

September 30th, 2021 syspatches: some assembly might be required
|
|
Did you just run syspatch(8) and see it fail? Here's the reason: one of the two root certificates behind the (excellent) Let's Encrypt CA service has expired. A bug in (the "legacy" verifier of) LibreSSL also contributed. The syspatches (for OpenBSD 6.8, 032, for OpenBSD 6.9, 018) mitigate the unfortunate situation. However, your syspatch may fail if your local mirror uses a Let's Encrypt ...

At g2k16 he floated the idea of a network configuration daemon.
