Hi Mike, > Was wondering if I could get some feedback from you guys. Imho, that presentation looks very useful! Still, just in case you are interested in some very minor nitpicking: - On slide 3, a remark "not yet officially supported in OpenBSD 4.0" behind option 3, "use binpatch" might help to avoid confusion. - On slide 4, an additional remark "Choose this option if you only need to patch one or two boxes and aim for quickness and simplicity." might be helpful - otherwise, people might wonder whether errata are useful at all. - On slide 5, line 1, after "for patching" consider adding "more than a handful of servers" - On silde 5, line 4, "use cdXY.iso", not "user cdXY.iso" - On slide 6, line 5, "It doesn't hurt to apply patches already applied." is dangerous. It *can* hurt applying them out of order. With kernel patches, this is obvious, with userland patches, order is *usually*, but by no means *necessarily* irrelevant. Not sure how to patch this in the slides - you certainly do not want to discuss all the details. - Regarding slide 16, currently none... ;-) Yours, Ingo |
