BSD Now 391: i386 tear shedding
This week’s BSD Now is a little sad about FreeBSD 13/i386 going to a less-supported platform, but there’s plenty of links to other stories.
LibreSSL update and a reminder
LibreSSL in DragonFly has had a minor update, from 3.2.3 to 3.2.4, thanks to Daniel Fojt. It’s a bugfix update, but I’m using it as a chance to remind everyone you can use LibreSSL for everything in dports, too.

There can be only one (tmpfs mount)
Well, that’s not exactly correct: you can mount more than one tmpfs, and you can mount multiples at the same spot, but I can’t think of a reason to do so. In fact, it could happen by accident, but there’s a fix for that in DragonFly, thanks to Aaron LI. Not a major problem, but …

One more building fix
Because there’s a newer version of sh(1) in DragonFly, you may need to update your 5.8 system to continue building ports from source. Binary installation through pkg still works as expected so this may not affect you.
BSD Now 390: Commercial Unix Killer
The menacing BSD Now for this week covers a bunch of stuff, not just post hoc arguments, but there’s a special request: old retail BSD software. If you have older commercial disks or images floating around, they want to know.
New dports packages
There’s a new build of DragonFly 5.8 binary packages available. There’s a sudo fix in there for the recent public cross-platform CVE it had, plus the linked announcement describes how to get around a pkg upgrade bug.
