We mostly finished the backport of our 11-CURRENT patches to 10-STABLE this week. This means that those who have a preference not to use 11-CURRENT (and we don't blame them) can now have the comfort of having exploit mitigation features in a more stable branch. The backport is currently in an experimental branch (hardened/experimental/10-stable
) but will be promoted to a stable branch (hardened/10-stable/master
) in around a month if we deem it to be stable. We will soon be providing amd64 packages as well. Building packages is a good indicator of stability, a stress test of sorts. We are also providing nightly builds.
The nightly build artifacts can be found here. We will update this article once packages are built.
