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
