OpenBSD 8.0 is here! Are you planning on updating the "demo" version, too?†

I hope so. #FuguIta

• Thank you for your post!
  A bit premature, aren't we? . #FuguIta 8.0 hasn't been released yet.
  
  To briefly outline the work ahead:
  First, I need to do a full build of FuguIta 7.9 from the final OpenBSD 7.9 source tree and keep a clean, safe and stable 7.9 release.
  Next, I'll upgrade the FuguIta build environment to OpenBSD 8.0 and perform a full build of OpenBSD 8.0.
  Then I'll build FuguIta 8.0 on top of that. Quite a few changes have been made between OpenBSD 7.9 and 8.0, so the FuguIta build process needs to be updated to reflect those changes.
  
  All of this has to be done for each of the four platforms: i386, amd64, arm64, and macppc.
  In addition, I'll need to maintain the repositories and documentation during this process, as well as prepare release notes and other announcements.
  
  I'm doing all this on my own. Having others contribute would certainly help shorten the development time.
  
  In any case, my current priorities are, in this order:
  1. Keep the current FuguIta 7.9 release safe and stable.
  2. Develop and build FuguIta 8.0 and get it ready for release.
  
  Also, FuguIta is suitable for a wide range of uses, including networking and IoT. As explained in FuguIta/BBS/16#g666534e, desktop use is just one of its many possible applications.
  
  Therefore, a "demo" version will be made only when there are no higher-priority tasks to take care of and there is a need for one.
  
  If you really want a FuguIta desktop environment sooner, I recommend consulting Getting Started and the FuguIta Guide and building one yourself.
  Basically, you just use the dtjsetup command to install and configure the desktop environment and major applications, then use the usbfadm tool to save them to a USB drive.
  
  These tools and documents are there precisely for people like you! -- kaw 2026-10-21 (Wed) 13:04:31
