My question: If I see a recent change in CVS, is there any way to know whether it will be included if I run sysupgrade right now?
More info: Usually this comes up when I see errata announced: I can find the corresponding change in CVS, but if I run sysugprade on a -current system, I have no idea whether that change made it in, so I don't know if the problem is fixed on my system. I found a couple of old (pre-2010) documents [0] [1] saying this information is not available, but was wondering (a) whether that's changed in the past 10 years, or (b) is there a heuristic that's likely to work anyway, e.g. take the timestamps of the files in the pub/OpenBSD/snapshots directory and subtract X hours. I also had a strange experience recently where I ran sysupgrade several times on the same machine within a few hours, and each time, got a different #xxx in the output of uname -a (like "GENERIC.MP#206"). I know the #xxx isn't very meaningful, but I expected it to at least match if I download the same snapshot, and I'd expect to get the same snapshot unless a new build has been completed in the meantime. /etc/installurl contained https://cdn.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD . Is my mental picture of what's going on too simple? Or do new builds really appear every couple of hours? (I was trying to reproduce a bug I got on another computer; I think it was the issue reported here: https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-tech&m=160694869915567&w=2 .)
