• Undeadly ☛ OpenBSD -current is now "7.7-current"

  Those running the latest-and-greatest [via a sufficiently new snapshot or built from source] no longer need to use "-D snap" with pkg_add(1) (and pkg_info(1)).

• Undeadly ☛ rpki-client 9.5 released

• Mailing list ARChives ☛ rpki-client 9.5 released

  rpki-client 9.5 has just been released and will be available in the
  rpki-client directory of any OpenBSD mirror soon. It is recommended
  that all users upgrade to this version for improved reliability.
  
  
  rpki-client is a FREE, easy-to-use implementation of the Resource
  Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) for Relying Parties to facilitate
  validation of BGP announcements. The program queries the global RPKI
  repository system and validates untrusted network inputs. The program
  outputs validated ROA payloads, BGPsec Router keys, and ASPA payloads
  in configuration formats suitable for OpenBGPD and BIRD, and supports
  emitting CSV and JSON for consumption by other routing stacks.
  
  
  See RFC 6480 and RFC 6811 for a description of how RPKI and BGP Prefix
  Origin Validation help secure the global Internet routing system.
  
  
  rpki-client was primarily developed by Kristaps Dzonsons, Claudio
  Jeker, Job Snijders, Theo Buehler, Theo de Raadt and Sebastian Benoit
  as part of the OpenBSD Project.
