Hi Ethan, > 1. Are these builds stable enough for daily use outside of testing? Yes, I run current on my laptop and server with no problems.
> 2. How often should I upgrade/jump to the next snapshot? Whenever you feel like it, as long as you check the steps needed here: https://www.openbsd.org/faq/current.html If you get lazy and leave it a while you may miss some steps that have been posted to the above link and later removed, in that case check the old version of the page at (and click link for `coloured` diffs at): https://cvsweb.openbsd.org/www/faq/current.html Usually I upgrade around once a month. Follow the source changes mailing list and tech and avoid upgrading around the time of big changes to kernel or when something like ffmpeg, python or perl gets updated (wait for new packages to be built against those type of things). Once in a blue moon (very rare) I try to update packages after updating the OS and they won't install because of library mismatch, the new version may be a day or two till its ready. Usualluy the already-installed version will keep working in the meantime. > 3. How are major upgrades handled? Exactly the same as other upgrades, its just a number :-) Brett.
