A Good Excuse to Try a Snapshot

Like OpenBSD? Like time synchronization? Read up on the recent changes regarding adjtime(2), adjfreq(2), and ntpd improvements. I haven't tried an OpenBSD snapshot in ages, but I have a DOS batch file that I use to fetch OpenBSD installation sources:

ECHO OFF
CLS

SET OPENBSDVERSION=snapshots
SET ARCH=i386
SET RSYNC_SERVER=openbsd.mirrors.tds.net/OpenBSD
SET SRCDIR="C:\Program Files\Apache Software 
Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\pub\OpenBSD\%OPENBSDVERSION%"

mkdir %SRCDIR%
FOR %%i IN (%ARCH% tools) DO rsync -vPrtz --delete 
rsync://%RSYNC_SERVER%/%OPENBSDVERSION%/%%i %SRCDIR%
