OpenBSD -current has moved to version 8.0

The OpenBSD 8.0 release cycle is entering its final phases…

With the following commit, Theo de Raadt (deraadt@) moved -current to version 8.0 (dropping the "-beta"):

CVSROOT:	/cvs
Module name:	src
Changes by:	deraadt@cvs.openbsd.org	2026/09/26 10:41:23

Modified files:
	sys/conf       : newvers.sh 

Log message:
leave -beta

For those unfamiliar with the process:

this is not the 8.0 release, but is part of the standard build-up to the release.

Remember: It's time to start using "-D snap" with pkg_add(1) (and pkg_info(1)).

(Regular readers will know what comes next…)
This serves as an excellent reminder to upgrade snapshots frequently, test both base and ports, and report problems [plus, of course, donate!].

Log message:
Import rtrd(8), an easy-to-use RPKI-To-Router protocol implementation

The rtrd(8) program is intended as a scalable distribution layer to
deliver data produced by rpki-client(8) to clients such as bgpd(8)
in multi-node/multi-vendor IXP and ISP deployments. A single rtrd(8)
instance can concurrently serve many BGP routers and route servers.

Many thanks to Ralph Covelli from Hurricane Electric for creating rtrd!

OK deraadt@ claudio@

The software was later linked to the build

The original author, Ralph Covelli, is now rcovelli@.
