Hi misc@,
out of curiosity I recently compiled a custom kernel
and now syspatch(8) fails with:
syspatch: Unsupported release: 7.3-stable
Taking a short look at /usr/sbin/syspatch reveals the following lines:
set -A _KERNV -- $(sysctl -n kern.version |
sed 's/^OpenBSD \([1-9][0-9]*\.[0-9]\)\([^ ]*\).*/\1 \2/;q')
((${#_KERNV[*]} > 1)) && err "Unsupported release: ${_KERNV[0]}${_KERNV[1]}"
This tells me that using syspatch(8) is not supported on -stable.
But I actually only run a -stable kernel.
The userspace is still -release + syspatch.
Do I have to compile the entire userspace too,
if I want to use a custom kernel?
Or is there some other way of using a custom kernel
AND using syspatch for userspace?
PS: I update my /usr/src with:
$ cvs -qd $CVSROOT up -Pd -rOPENBSD_7_3
PS 2: I compile with
COPTIMIZE=-O3 -march=native -mtune=native
and no crashes so far.
I might try -Ofast in the future.
Best regards,
Benjamin Stürz
