OK, so who broke #syspatch in #OpenBSD 7.8?

```
# syspatch
syspatch: Unsupported release: 7.8-current
```

#RUNBSD #OpenBSD #syspatch #upgrade

When the question comes up, "Why OpenBSD?" one answer is ease of maintenance.

Patches are announced on the OpenBSD.org website at https://www.openbsd.org/errata76.html and on the openbsd.announce mailing list https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-announce&r=1&w=2

All you do to update is:

$ doas syspatch

It's very quick.

And for packages, it's:

$ doas pkg_add -u

And for a new release, which happens twice a year:

$ doas sysupgrade

(followed by doas pkg_add -u)

So easy!

#openbsd #syspatch

I just applied the latest OpenBSD 7.6 patch. Also had (yet another) Intel firmware update.
