Better later than never

Hi folks,

Here is the first (indirect) OpenBSD ports contribution post 6.4 release, so finally pypy changes had been merged. Also another late merge this time for LLVM 7.0.1 as I promised in the last EuroBSDCon to the attendees my fix for X-ray tooling had been backported.

Speaking of conferences, there is the last MeetBSD which took place in California and seemingly had been a great success reading some people reports :-) the Mariusz Zaborski's talk was surely a great one but also two from last EuroBSDCon like Kamil's talk or "What (not) to Monitor" from Andrew Fengler. Seemingly the next "important" BSD event will be the AsiaBSDCon one. We shall see ;-)

Apart of this, few small fixes here and there, also awaiting new sdb release to fix a longtime issue. At last, Haproxy 1.9 release should occur soon-ish. Seems a very much expected one ;-)

Further releases ...

... on this surprising hot autumn here in the emerald island.

Today, no real surprise, OpenBSD 6.4 is out, so before the 1st of November, here the "changelog". I think from now we can start to forget the old 1st May/1st November hardcoded dates :-)

radare2 finally got to 3.0.0 but there is a quick 3.0.1 "hotfix" version already scheduled (today or tomorrow). Also autumn is the sign of life coming down :-) so FreeBSD 10.4 End of Life is soon-ish albeit the date is not hardcoded yet. FreeBSD 11 and soon FreeBSD 12 have sufficiently new features and stability to be interesting, I personally appreciate the shorter lifetime of FreeBSD releases between major branches, compared to how it used to be ...

Months ago mentioned couple of times people reporting issues with Intel components. In a personal level, I started to move towards AMD and its Ryzen branding as a new OpenBSD machine. Some people might be more interested by ARM laptops instead. No disappointment so far, the extra power will serve me right for LLVM builds as well. You can find people who tested this sort of combo like qbit here. Also pypy will finally have a major bump version resulted from a patch I did quite a time ago (and which I almost forgot :-)).
